Pic 4 and 6 (last one) is Dwarf Gourami...Colisa lalia, I think now they have changed the Genus name from Colisa to...Trichogaster, check Google for exact spelling. It is common in water bodies of North India, and belongs to the labyrinth family, the same family as Betta. Since it is a native fish, most fish shops do not stock them, and in fact, it is actually difficult to find these fish in LFS in Delhi. Like Betta, they breathe through their labyrinth from the surface and not through gills. It is a strikingly colorful and extraordinarily hardy fish, quite forgiving towards water parameters and conditions, so in a specie-only tank, you can almost put them in and forget! In a community tank some individuals can be a bit territorial. I had them during my initial days in the hobby and they lasted almost 3 years in my tank!
