Moonlight Gouramis are named for their silver coloration which is similar in appearance to the glow of moonlight. These fish differ slightly in shape from other Gouramis in that their heads are concavely sloped. This species is native to the Mekong River in Vietnam and Cambodia and has been introduced into the Mekong River basin in Thailand. In the wild, these fish can be found in densely planted waters such as lowland bogs, swamps and ponds.
