I'm aware that Ctenopoma are labyrinth fish but I don't recall seeing them referred to as gourami before..

I think I've seen them called leaf gourami and leopard gourami before.

Okay, "climbing gourami" a kind of a common name.....anyhow,I have kept C. acutirostre on a few different occasions and they have rarely observed them hiding among plants but rather almost constantly patrolling around the tank.

These guys are cool. They're pretty outgoing once comfortable and bottomless pits when it comes to food.

Don’t have my trio in planted tank, mine are in a tank with catfish so lots of rock work, bog wood and caves where they tend to spend most of the day in the shade stalking around on the lookout.

IN my tank it is top predator.Anything from fishes under 7 cm is killed or eaten by bushfish.
