I'm Rayy (or mothman with a taser-flashlight depending on time of night), 27, and I post/reblog fish stuff and whatever, including dogs, snakes, plants, birds, bison, islands, talking to myself in the tags...
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Croaking Gourami | Trichopsis vittata
“As their name suggests, croaking gouramis are capable of producing an audible grunting or chirping noise, accomplished through the use of specialized adaptations of their pectoral fins. These noises are produced by both sexes during breeding displays and during the establishment of dominance hierarchies among males. A typical showdown between males consists of each fish circling the other, flaring fins, aggressively darting (though rarely making contact), and producing croaking noises. Well matched individuals may continue this behaviour for several hours at a time.”

Guys I’m like 85% sure this is a wild Betta species
because that’s what a Trichopsis vittata looks like

It’s definitely a betta of some sort (http://www.aquariumphoto.dk/3_laby_betta.htm may help with identification)

Well I mean they’re pretty closely related, same family (Osphronemidae)
