Description: Native to the island of Borneo, the samurai Gourami is a smaller peaceful cousin of the much more famous "Betta". They have a unique sexual dimorphism where the females host bright colors and more aggressive behaviors while males stay duller in color and are more submissive. These males have pouches in their mouth that they use to hold their eggs until they hatch.
