What sort of fish is the big one in this picture? I saw it in an aquarium so I don't really know anything about its habitat.

    $\begingroup$ Several smaller gouramis' are common in the aquarium trade ; this one maybe only as a special order. Interestingly one of the small ones is also called "giant" (about 4 in. long). $\endgroup$
