You didn't confirm me the first reply, I wasn't expecting the biology lesson. It is informative though.
 
 

It looks like some sort of Arowana but with the less pronounced upturned mouth!

Theres the clue.

My gouramis are looking at them with the same mouths.

 
Sorry, I didn't see the edit in your first post.
 
On your fish, the clues are clearly saying it's an anabantoid, so is it one of the mouthbrooding betta species? B. Pulchra?

 

[TallTree01]

And gouramis too.

@ TLM - this is an example of an effective clue.

This genus of bubble nest builders like to climb.

 

[TallTree01]

A climbing gourami?

 

[DreamertK]

We're all in the same family with that name.

We're all in the same family with that name.

Does it exist?

 

[DreamertK]

Yes. It's pretty rare in stores though since they live on the bottom of streams.

Since I'm about to go to sleep...
