Hmm the photos didn't really show how sparkly she was in person, but here you go. She's all healthy and active now in the main tank.

Shes lovely Kissy, so sparkly.

Reminds me of those wild type bettas you can get

He is very preatty! The color is amazing!

I thought she WAS a Betta at first. She's very pretty, Kissy.

She's beautiful I love sparkly fish

She's really pretty, those scales really catch your eye! I'm glad she's settled into her new home. Aren't gouramis and bettas realated?

ooh she's sooo pretty is she the same as a croaking gourami, or are those different things?

Thanks everyone She does look like a wild betta, doesn't she? Bettas and Gouramis are under the same category (Anabantid..sp) so they are closely related. She's about 1.5" with her tail and she won't get much bigger than that. They both croak, but only if they're kept in groups. Croaking and Sparkling gouramis are very similar, but they aren't the same species. Tim's Tropicals has two different caresheets where the two are compared in both.

She doesn't act like a betta at all, at least not the ones I've kept. She moves so delicately and shyly, but she's definately gotten more brave. The tetras' personalities are rubbing off on her haha.

ah cool, thanks
I'd love a tank of croaking gouramis, I was reading about them in PFK.. cute!

Pics finally! She is beautiful!!

Geeez, Finally Lauren! heheh. She's pretty, Glad we finally got to see her.
