First descrip­tion: This was the most traded licorice gourami of the last years, begin­ning in 2007, mostly wrongly called “deiss­neri”, exported in huge num­bers from Jambi/​Sumatra. Often it is not clearly to be dis­tin­guished from the trade forms called “blue line”. But gen­er­ally the colours are less bright than in the for­mer. The fins are slightly shorter than in ‘blue line’ with green­ish mar­gins and the colour mark­ings some­what blurred.
