I've had a 5 inch gourami sold as a "mystery gourami" by PetSmart for about a year now. Being the suspicious person I am, I looked up photos of baby giant gouramis, and bam. They look exactly the same. I had promised myself in my early years of tending aquariums that I'd never, ever make that...

so my wife came home with a baby puffer today because she said it was too adorable to leave at the store. She got it from a chain store and the worker said he wasn’t sure what exactly it is but thought it is a GSP. I’m thinking it is a dwarf puffer but I truthfully don’t know. I have a GSP now...
