Gouramis · names

Every name, resolved

A gourami is known by a current scientific binomial under the Catalog of Fishes and, often, by an English common name — “pearl gourami”, “honey gourami”, “kissing gourami”, “climbing perch”. This index cross-references both layers — the 92 scientific names and 126 common names — and resolves each one to its species page.
