Oh, it is dwarf Colisa Lalia (prob. mispelled)...just not the variant Dwarf
Gourami which is a completely different coloration. *This is a case where

When these flames were released to retail in ca. 1977, they were $30 EACH.

A flame? I looked up photos of dwarfs, and they look like just like
mine. Now I'm gonna go take a look at pics of the Flame ones.

Thanks

I second the "Its a Flame" not a dwarf.maybe a flame drawf, I dunno
but its definately a flame gourami. Wtih all the info you get form the
lfs your dealing with I have to wonder how they manage to stay in
business since they are so full of bad info. No its *not just the few
on this gorups opinions either as what was stated here goes hand in
hand with what is published and accepted methods and process of fish
keeping.......now I need to see if there is a full sized gourani or is
the term drawrf Flame legit or yet another petshop missnomer...as
thats where I got the monicker of drawf flame......

Ok thanks.........so its a "true" dwarf then..........
There is another gourami that looks a lot like the flame also. I just
seen one today and for the life of me can not recall its name.
