nope scott1000, that's not correct. I have two of those and they look like this~(he he he, showing off my gouramis)
That's what I've been using, Sky042!!! It's literally essential for a great pic.

There is no such thing as a red flame honey dwarf thing....

There is a red honey gourami
A flame dwarf gourami
and a honey gourami

He has a red honey gourami.
Regular honey gourami are more yellow and male's stomachs turn black.
Flame dwarf gourami have blue dorcal fins and are much bigger and their face is also grey, I used to have one.
He has a red honey gourami. There is no such thing as a flame honey gourami, look it up under google pictures, nothing comes up because that's not the proper name.... AHHHHHHHHH!

How does the FOTM thin work?
Do I have to submit?
I ask because some of the other pics in this thread got nominated and I'm not sure who keeps track of that.
