A friend of mine told me that once had Pink Fantailed Kissing Gourami. I have never heard of such a fish before and can find no references to them.
Can any one help me please? Does fish really exist?

There are two mutated colour strains of the Kissing Gourami (Helostoma temminckii): green and pink. The pink coloration isn't really a bright pink, but rather a very pale pink-ish hue. The 'term' fantail will also refer to fish that have been selectively bred to produce long-finnage.

Avoid buying any fish that have bright fluorescent colours or guady coloration taking the shape of vertical/horizontal bars, symbols, words or numbers. These fish are the victims of a cruel practice called 'dying', where a hypodermic needle is used to inject the epidermis of the skin with a brightly coloured, permanent synthetic dye.
