I really don't know, but I would guess they could/would breed together. I would assume they are like mollies and platy's and such where different color variations still breed.

yes you forgot the dwarf gouramis which are the ones which are sold the most i think
it's possible that they would breed with each other

I think that a good quality and healthy paradise are the prettiest. They have such beautiful fins, they almost remind me of a giant kilifish. I think the color combination of teal and orange is really nice looking. I saw some albino paradise's once, but really didn't like them.
As far as breeding, I would imagine that only gouramis of similar body style would breed together.

Oh, I hate to disagree, but I find the Pearls the prettiest. I have a tank with those, and that is one fish I'll never trade in. Such a beautiful fish, and gives its tank mates no trouble at all.
I used to keep all sorts of tetras and all, but once the Victorian bug bit me, I downsized everything to make room for more cichlids.

i think pearls and opalines and powder blues are the prettiest.
but does anyone know for sure if they can cross breed?

I would assume if they are close in body shape and not given a mate of the same type, they will cross breed. I can't say for sure, but I'll dig into this for a better answer.

In what I've been able to find, they will cross breed, as most of the Gouramis are different color forms of the same fish.
