Could anyone tell me for certain what I have got? They are not perfect photos - they won't swim still for long enough :rolleyes:












Thanks in advance

I've checked out all the info I can find on the net but I'm still not sure.

My Flames I'm pretty sure of - the male is a bright orange with blue tipped dorsal and the female is almost a pale gold colour.

The Banded I cannot tell, both have upswept dorsals at the rear end. Although one is more pronounced than the other, almost like an aeroplane's tail, whereas the other's is rather a low upsweep and more rounded.

The Dwarf Blues look near identical to me. Both have long low dorsals with a slight rounding of the rear end.

I will try to get some better quality photos of the Blues and the Banded.

I have Gourami and the males dorsal comes to I point in the back and the females are more rounded in the back and tend to have a vertical rear edge where the males flow backwards.
