About
Colisa sota (formerly treated as a variant of C. chuna) is a diminutive gourami from slow-moving, vegetated waters of Bangladesh and northeast India. Males display brilliant golden-orange spawning colours while females remain more modestly coloured. It is one of the most peaceable gouramis available and thrives in small, well-planted setups.
