I'm not sure if i've ever seen a blue gourami before. Does anybody mind sharing a picture or two with me?

Is this what u mean? There is also a colour morph of the dwarf gourami....

The blue color morphs of dwarf gouramies are usualy called 'neon blue' or 'powder blue'.

Plain 'blue' usualy reffers to three-spots (trichogaster trichopterus) like the one in that picture. here are some more:

Note BTW that this is not the same as the 'wild' color. Though this 'blue' version of the three-spot is the closest you get to the wild form, it has been selectively bred to be blue-er and the wild fish has a lot more gold/yellow and green tinting the blue. The clean, silver-blue color you see in that picture has only been achieved by breeding for many generations.

Here are some opaline/opaline-cross fish too (another color morph) also called 'cosby' (the only difference is how clear the markings are):

Hi Gimli

There are some lovely pictures of both the blue opaline and the gold gouramis on this thread:
