Three spot gourami

Trichopodus trichopterus

Description:

The three spot gourami, Trichopodus trichopterus, (formerly Trichogaster trichopterus [1][2]) is a labyrinth fish. The natural coloration of this fish gets its name from the two spots along each side of its body in line with the eye, considered the third spot.[3] Marketed fresh or salted and pickled, they are also popular in the fishkeeping hobby, commonly kept in aquariums.[4] Depending on the various artificial color morphs, the species may be known under other common names including the blue gourami, Cosby gourami, gold gourami, and the opaline gourami.[4]
