Trichopsis vittata - Croaking gourami

Not sure if the Croaking gourami is an oddball fish but didn't know where else to post this little story :lol:

We had bought three beautiful Sparkling gourami a few weeks ago, who started to grow quickly in their new home. Soon we realised that one of them definitely wasn't a Sparkling one and identified him as a Three-Striped gourami (aka Croaking gourami). He has developed the long fins and looks stunning!

Two days ago we moved him to another tank and this is where he really lived up to his other name Croaking gourami, which up till yesterday we weren't even aware of! :lol:

Whilst watching a movie I wondered what the really odd, burp-like noise coming from the tank was - I thought it was the filter - but whenever I walked up to the tank it stopped :-? Last night I was able to pinpoint the source of the funny noise -> it is in fact the gourami making it! :D

Quite surprising how loud this little fella can be!

Here's a pic found through Google:

He looks just like this - soon I will be taking some pics of our tanks :)
