I got what I thought was a Golden Gourami yesterday at petsmart as a soon to be centerpiece for my 45 gallon tank. Since I’m gonna be moving my 2.5 inch Festivum and about 1.5 -2inch EBA to a 60 gallon. However, I’m not convinced that’s what this is I’ve never heard of a Gold Gourami just Honey. Thanks for your advice!

That looks more like some type of cichlid than any gourami I have seen before.It may be a severum?

Oh he/she will be moving into the new tank with the Festivum and EBA although I’m sure I’ll be buying a 75 gallon now.
