Petsmart often gives fantasy advice on the length of their fish. They have a bunch of cichlids that'll grow to 8" but they list them as 4 or 6 inches.
I've kept all the Colisa species now (these honeys are my first chuna/sota). These guys from petsmart do not have a body that matches lalia, labiosa or fasciata.
As an aside, I've never had fish that responded so strongly to a big storm that rolled through last night (the kind that drops over an inch or rain in 30 minutes). About 10 minutes before the rain, the honey gouramis dropped down to the gravel and just sat there until about half an hour after the storm went by...which they had not done since I got them. All I could think of is that if you come from an area with shallow water depth and a bit storm comes along, hunkering down on the bottom might keep you from being swept away.
Anyone else observe similar behavior in their honey gouramis?
