Colour
Opaline gouramis are known to change colour (their blue spots will fade) when under high stress situations or when they are not kept under good conditions. A healthy blue gourami should have two vivid blue spots on each side of the body. Also, their spots will fade with age.

Famous quotes containing the word colour:
“I allow a Beauty to be as much to be commended for the Elegance of her Dress, as a Wit for that of his Language; yet if she has stolen the Colour of her Ribbands from another, or had Advice about her Trimmings, I shall not allow her the Praise of Dress, any more than I would call a Plagiary an Author.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
“There’s no man may look upon her, no man,
As when newly grown to be a woman,
Tall and noble but with face and bosom
Delicate in colour as apple blossom.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“The tears I shed
weren’t bitter things,
so ice-floes in spring
touched by the sun,
show colour of flowers.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
