What is Blue Gourami
Blue Gourami (Trichogaster trichopterus "Blue" color morph) is a cultured strain of the Three Spot Gourami, native to Southeast Asia (Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, etc.). Based on the wild-type coloration (bluish silver with 2 black spots), selective breeding has fixed a more vibrant blue coloration that is now distributed worldwide.
