What's the difference?

Hi all. What is the difference between honey gourami (Colisa Chuna) and sunset honey gourami? This gourami I picked up today looks orange with blue on top and the top fin has a little trace of red on it and back fin is clear. About 2 inches at the most. I sure hope this fish is not one of those painted fish. If anyone has a picture of a sunset gourami that would be real nice. Can not find to much on the internet about this. Thank you.

um I am not positive but my guess is that it is just a colour morph- selective breeding is used to bring out specific colour patterns and then they are bred true.

OK thank you. I guess that is better then being painted. Why do people do that anyways?
