They look like a gourami or paradise fish of some kind to me, have they
built a bubble nest?

Yup, it looks like a kind of Paradize fish but also resemble the Lalia - a
hybrid perhaps....??

The fish in the photos (excellent photos, by the way!) are indeed Paradise
Fish. They are relared to Gouramis like Dwarf Gourami (I think that when
yoy say "lalia", you mean this species), but they can't crossbreed. There's
nothing which hints that that fish is anything else than a purebred
Paradise Fish.

The fry will survive only in a separate aquarium, not here with those Tiger
Barbs and other fishes. Most likely the aggs are eaten before they even
hatch.

They are gourami fishes, I think they are native of India
