    Here is a photo of Skye, the pink kissing gourami I rescued last week. Settling in well. This photo was takne from across the room, because this fish still hides when I approach the tank.

    My tank water is also clearer; I was overfeeding.

    I love how you have everything set up.
    I used to have a pair of dwarf gourami's ages ago. They were darker than this wee one though, and not all that large.

    Great rescue stories - I'm including Willy at the end!

    Hi Crystal,

    These kissing gouramis grow VERY large, and are actually a food source in Thailand! That is the natural green variety, not the albino / pink which is specifically bred for the fish hobby. So, Skye is ok in my 50 gallon for now, but will eventually require a 75 gallon.

    The dwarf gourami is a whole 'nother story!

    I love the kissing gourami. Unfortunately I never had any luck with ones I brought into my tank. They never lived very long for some reason. They were my favorite in my tank but I've given up on them D:
