Dwarf
Gourami which is a completely different coloration. This is a case where
dwarf does not mean size for one variant, and is implied in the Flame
case.
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.
