Anyone know what type of gourami this is?

I brought this gourami home today, but nobody knew what kind it was and there was no corresponding label. It looks like it got beat up while in another tank and moved. The closest that I can come up with is a pearl gourami, but it doesn’t look quite the same.

Other than the beat up fins it seems healthy and inquisitive and has no issues swimming. It comes right up to the glass follows you like a puppy.

How big is it? It could very well be a juvenile pearl, it has the right markings for it. Just needs to fatten up and grow some.

About 2.5” long.

It's a snakeskin gourami, Trichopodus pectoralis. Gets pretty big.
