Pearl Gourami

Image of my male pearl

Two of my most favorite fish in my tank are my pair of pearl gouramis named Red and Candy. They are both beautiful and the male has many brilliant shades of blue gold and red. He's got a little kink on his head but its probably from his squeezing into areas he can't really fit into. They are pretty active, curious fish. I'm hoping to one day have them spawn. But isn't that every fish owners wish? For babies?
