Trichogaster fasciata, the banded gourami or striped gourami or Colisa or Kholshe, is a tropical labyrinth perch found in some Asian countries, including Bangladesh, Eastern India, Northeastern India, Nepal, Upper Myanmar, China and Pakistan.

It is also called the giant gourami, and for this reason it is often confused with the Osphronemus goramy, which has the same common name.
