Frail gourami
The frail gourami (Ctenops nobilis) is a species of gourami native to northeastern India and Bangladesh found in lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams with plentiful vegetation overgrowth.[1][2] This species grows to a length of 10 cm (3.9 in). It is only seldom found in the aquarium trade, courtesy of its extreme sensitivity to shipping stress and high levels of aggression.[3] This species is the only known member of its genus.[2]
