Red Tail Golden Honey Dwarf Gourami 3.5cm RARE

The Red Tail Golden Honey Dwarf Gourami (Trichogaster chuna var.) is a rare and exceptionally beautiful colour form of the classic Honey Gourami, displaying a rich golden-yellow body that transitions into a striking deep red-orange tail — a combination that shimmers with warmth and elegance under aquarium lighting. Far less commonly available than the standard Honey Gourami, this variety is a true collector's gem and a stunning centrepiece for planted nano and community aquariums. Like all Honey Gouramis, it is a labyrinth fish with a gentle, undemanding nature that makes it one of the most rewarding small gouramis to keep.
