That pretty much settles it.... it's not wild caught. Chain stores like Petsmart only buy large quantities from the big fish farms. They are not going to bother with expensive speciality fish like wild caught dwarf gourami's or guppies or anything they can get for a much lower price in much larger quantities. For something their customers wouldn't even notice the difference or care about anyway. They are not even going to buy from small farms which can't supply enough farmed fish, that would require them order from several farms to get enough of the same fish species. Chain stores don't like that at all.
If you bought it in a speciality store or something like Predatory Fins who picks and imports their own fish, it could be wild caught. (and it would show in the price as well). I'm not saying it's impossible there is a local 'long bodied' strain somewhere, but as you can see all the wild caught specimens on Fishbase have the usual body shape. Saying that it is wild cause it has a long body is just not true.
Other possible explanations; it has a deformed body or it's a farmed 'long bodied' variety.
