yes, to be exact the common/trade name is called Honey Dwarf Gourami (Trichogaster Chuna).

i've seen Polyart carrying it and they call it Fire Lily.

Ahh..that's the problem with common names.
A single species can have many common names..
Sometimes, even 2 (or more) different species share the same common name.
It's confusing!


The best is to know their scientific names.
Although it can be quite hard to remember but they're always exact.
Just so you know, scientific names (and synonyms) are like thumbprints; no two names are the same.
Interesting eh?
