And they're sooo beautiful and settling in nicely. They're real pigs at feeding time though, looks like they're gonna eat me out of house and home. I thought they might be shy and not eat the first day after bringing them home but not a bit of it!
Just a quick question. Are they the same as dwarf gouramis? A book I have at home listed the red robin (red honey gourami) and dwarf gourami separately and stated that honey gouramis were slightly smaller, and the Latin names given were slightly different. But when I asked at the lfs, which usually gives good advice, if they were more hardy than dwarf gouramis (I had 2 a couple of years ago which died within weeks) the chap looked at me as if I was talking rubbish. He said they were exactly the same, just a different colour, and did I still want them.
