Parosphromenus harveyi is a species of gourami endemic to Malaysia, where it is known from Selangor. The most extreme freshwater habitats in Peninsular Malaysia are the peat swamp forests that consist of dark-coloured, highly acidic waters. Parosphromenus harveyi, commonly referred to as a "licorice gourami" alongside its congeners, is a small labyrinth fish native to peat swamp forests in the Tanjong Malim area within the state of Perak, with populations of the species exhibiting a wide variety of morphological and behavioural traits. Species of the genus Parosphromenus, usually less than 3.0 cm (1.2 in) in standard length, are stenotypic inhabitants of peat swamp forests and associated blackwater streams with limited light penetration. The species was described by Barbara Brown in 1987, alongside its congener P. allani. Since the 1950s, additional species in the genus have been described on a sporadic basis and there are 23 recognised members at present.
