The gouramis or gouramies are a family, '''[[Osphronemidae]]''', of freshwater perciform fishes. The fish are native to Asia, from Pakistan and India to the Malay Archipelago and north-easterly towards Korea.<br />
<br />
Many gouramies have an elongated ray at the front of their pelvic fins. Many species show parental care: some are mouthbrooders, and others, like the Siamese fighting fish (''[[Betta splendens]]''), build bubble nests. Currently, about 90 species are recognised, placed in 4 subfamilies and about 13 genera.<br />
<br />
The name Polyacanthidae has also been used for this family. Some fish now classified as gouramies were previously placed in family [[Anabantidae]]. The subfamily Belontiinae was recently demoted from the family Belontiidae. As [[labyrinth fish]], gouramis have a lung-like labyrinth organ that allows them to gulp air and use atmospheric oxygen. This organ is a vital innovation for fishes that often inhabit warm, shallow, oxygen-poor water.<br />
