    nice fish! I love how different those type of gouramis look. My girlfriend and I have a pearl, paradise, sunset, honey, and "giant" gourami all in the different tanks we have. I really haven't figured out why the giant gourami is called such, due to the fact that the type I have get's no where near the size of a true giant gourami, more around the size of our pearl.

    Yeah, I never realized kissers got really big until I saw them in a large tank at a lfs. I remember being a kid and my dad got me a couple for my little tank....the things people didn't know about fish back then (at least in my dad's case) lol

    snakeskins also get quite large, around 8" in aquariums. Very nice looking gouramis though! With Gouramis, kissing is usually a territorial dispute or a display of dominance, not a sign of affection lol
