Starfire Red Gourami (3-pack) The latest gene spliced treat from the Spectrum company (via their secret lab in Singapore) is the Starfire Red Gourami. The parent of the red gourami is a pearl gourami, but with genetic magic this gourami is a super bright florescent red. These fish are peaceful and can be added to any aquarium that would be suitable for a standard pearl gourami.
