some sort of dwarf gourami?

[Dakota]

I just got 2 really small gouramis for my tank, but have no idea what they are. the fish store didn't even know for sure. they are sooo cute, could pass them up. They are about the size of your pinky nail. Body is pinkish and top and bottom fins have a reddish hue to them. i was told they were honey gouramis but honeys get to be 2 inches or more inches and these are pretty much as big as they will get. My friend has had some for awhile now and they haven't grown. He also doen't have a name. Any ideas? help me I.D. my freak fish.

exactly how big is your pinky nail? that fish in the pic looks bigger than a 1/2"

Kinda looks like a baby dwarf, and as far as i know there is only one species of dwarf, just different color variations.

This fish is only about 1/2 an inch at best. It looks bigger because I had to zoom in on it to get a decent pic.

baby dwarf Gourami "white Flame" strain. will get twice as big if you feed bloodworms and increase tank temp to 78 degrees. absolutely beautiful fish. they are quite possibly the collest color variation of Dwarf Gourami

Thank you very much. I had no idea what they were. Thanks again.
