Trichopsis vittatus, the croacking gourami. It's a local species. Very bright blue eyes when the light hits right, and the fins become either iridiscent red or blue when in good condition.
I bought this fish in a small fish shop in LCK. It was a by
catch and the owners didnt know what it is called. Ideas anyone?
sorry about the bad image quality, here are three images.

looks like a croaking gourami Trichopsis vittata
why I don't do garden hybrids and aquarium strains: natural species is a history of Nature, while hybrids are just the whims of Man.

thanks for the confirmation guys; i wasn't sure because of the reddish rather than blue fins
