EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite X-ray image of a Pearl gourami fish, scientifically known as Trichogaster leeri. The fish is depicted in a side view, revealing its unique features and intricate skeletal structure. With its oval-shaped body, which can grow up to 11 centimeters long, the Pearl gourami displays a distinct lateral compression. Its head tapers gracefully towards the front, while its anal fin extends remarkably long and the dorsal fin stands tall. What sets this species apart are its modified pelvic fins that resemble delicate fiber-like structures. These specialized appendages serve multiple purposes - aiding in touch perception and playing a vital role during courtship rituals. As members of the Gouramis subfamily (Trichogasterinae), these fishes have gained popularity among aquarium enthusiasts due to their stunning appearance and engaging behavior. Originating from Thailand, Malaysia, and Borneo, the Pearl gourami is considered one of nature's most beautiful labyrinthfishes. This mesmerizing photograph has been magnified at x0.6 for 35mm size prints or x5 for larger 8x12 inch prints – allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail of this remarkable creature.
