Fire Honey Gouramis

Description

I've been planning on getting honey gouramis ever since I laid eyes on 'em, and they were suggested to me by a neat fish guy I stumbled across. xD Thanks guitarfish!

Anyways, here they be! Upper one's a male with a fiery personality(wouldn't it figure, for getting a fire honey gourami..) that I've named Zarek, lower one's a female that's curious as a cat and just as wary, and her name is Astrid.
Zarek keeps nipping Akito, but not harmfully so. Frankly, I view it as beneficial because Akito is forced to actually swim rather than drift lazily, and in effect is more alert and watchful. The honey isn't biting, just curiously/hungrily nipping his fins.

I didn't intentionally get a male/female pair, I just picked the reddest energetic gourami, and then the most energetic creamsicle. Energy equals health, generally speaking.
The camera's flash brightens up their colors quite a bit; Astrid appear more peach and orange in real life than Holy-Cow-Yellow and rust red in the photo.. Either way, good contrast for a blue/green/black tank.

A male and a female, eh? Maybe they'll spawn and you'll end up with an entire school of honey gouramis. O__O Just kidding. As for name suggestions... my brain is practically fried right now, so I can't think of any. However, may I suggest looking at name meanings online? Heck, even looking up random words in the dictionary can help provide a pet name... What?
