''Trichopodus'' (formerly included in ''Trichogaster'') is a genus of tropical freshwater labyrinth fish of the gourami family found in Southeast Asia. Gouramis of the ''Trichopodus'' genus are closely related to those of ''Trichogaster'' (formerly ''Colisa''), species of both genera have long, thread-like pelvic fins (known as "feelers" in the aquarium trade) used to sense the environment. However, ''Trichopodus'' species have shorter dorsal fin base and, when sexually mature, are much larger, with the largest, the snakeskin gourami (''T. pectoralis''), capable of reaching a length of over .〔Pinter, H. (1986). Labyrinth Fish. Barron's Educational Series, Inc., ISBN 0-8120-5635-3〕 Along with the ''Trichogaster'' species, ''Trichopodus'' gouramis are popular in the aquarium trade. The three spot gourami (''T. trichopterus''), with its several aquarium variants, each known by a different trade name, is perhaps the most common aquarium gourami. ''Trichopodus'' species are also used as food fish in its native range.〔 The snakeskin gourami, in particular, is one of the top five aquacultured freshwater fish in Thailand.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=National Aquaculture Sector Overview - Thailand )〕 ==Species== There are currently 6 recognized species in this genus: * ''Trichopodus cantoris'' Günther 1861 * ''Trichopodus leerii'' Bleeker, 1852 (Pearl gourami) * ''Trichopodus microlepis'' Günther, 1861 (Moonlight gourami) * ''Trichopodus pectoralis'' Regan, 1910 (Snakeskin gourami) * ''Trichopodus poptae'' Low, H.
