These are a little dark, but here are two shots of my new Dwarf Fire Gouramis. They are actually a bit smaller even than this, so tiny and sweet. When I got them they were all white and in the course of this first day they have turned a light golden yellow and the red is showing up on their fins- yay! I love seeing fish take well to a good home.
Jsalemi are your gouramis girls ? Nice looking !

Not sure; when they're young (and these are), it's hard to tell the sexes apart. From what I've read, the only way to tell is that the male gets a darker band on the top of his body when he goes into breeding condition. Based on their behavior, I'd say I have two males, or a male and a female -- the one in front is clearly the dominant one. The other one spends a good portion of the time lurking in the plants or the cave -- I only usually see them together at feeding time (they learned when that is pretty quickly ).
It's not easy -- I use the macro setting on my Canon digital to get closer, and use the 'fast' shutter setting (the one with the 'running man' that's normally used for sports) to try and freeze them in motion. I've found that I get better pictures if I use the flash, but I have to be careful not to get a flash-back from the glass (or edit it out of the pics ).
