Sunset Thicklip Gourami
Trichogaster labiosa
Animalia›Chordata›Perciformes›Osphronemidae
📍 Southeast Asia
A hardy, underrated gourami with a warm sunset-orange body gradating from gold to deep tangerine. Less prone to the health issues that plague dwarf gouramis. Peaceful and personable, it makes an excellent community centrepiece.
