Default Identify this gourami? Honey Sunset?

I have 2 "honey sunset gouramis" in my 29 gallon tank. I bought them from petsmart but can't find anymore information on them labeled as honey sunsets. I've seen information on just honey gouramis but they look different. Here is the link to petsmart's fish guide.

Default Re: Identify this gourami? Honey Sunset?

Sorry, there's no link in your post.... could they maybe be Fire Honey Gouramis? I've got a few of those.... they stay smaller (getting about 2 inches). I think 'Sunset' is just another colour morph like "Fire." Everything I've read on the internet says that they are the same fish, it's just a colour morph. (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.) Basically, you have a Honey gourami that is a pretty colour morph. :D

When I went to the Petsmart site and looked at their "Honey Sunset's" it said they get about 4 inches, which doesn't seem right, because Honey Gouramis are a dwarf gourami, so should not get any larger than 2-3 inches max.... that's the only thing that is confusing me. It's quite possible they have their sizing wrong, as they are not a fish specialty store.

Here is a Honey Gourami: Google Image Result for http://animal-world.com/encyclo/fresh/anabantoids/images/HoneyGouramiWFA_AcF160.jpg

I hope this helps clear up your problem.
