Gold Fish Plant?

Does anyone know anything about this plant? I've had it for about 5 years and it wasn't looking so good this past summer, so I cut it way back and potted up some of the cuttings to see if I get roots (which reminds me, I need to look at them to see what's happening). When I first got it I think it was labeled as "Gold Fish" Plant and said it was a product of Canada. Hope someone can give me the correct name and I will be a good girl and put a label on it! Since cutting it back and re-potting, it is beginning to look pretty good, I think.

It's a Nematanthus, probably this one: http://davesgarden.com/pf/go/57656/index.html

Thank you ecrane3 .... that looks like it! Goldfish, Guppy .... flower doesn't resemble a fish to me, but I never really paid attention to what a Gold fish looks like!

Very pretty plant Lin.

LIn nice plant ! It'a Gesneriad, African violet family.
I looked up on the Gesneriad Web Reference could not find where they had Goldfish Plant.
Sometimes I think it's a nickname.
THere are many Nematanthus .
I've seen Nematanthus 'Tropicana' called the Goldfish plant .

Nematanthus. This Plant File for this Nematanthus is Nematanthus gregarius ,
I kept getting Nematanthus gregarius 'Golden West' qhich is the variegated one you see often.

When I first looked at your plant I was thinking it was an Aeschynanthus what I keep getting when I put Godlfish Plant into search. It's also know as Lipstick plant but there are many names.
Here is info on them.

I'm sure if you post it in Av/Gesneriad forum Keyring can give you more info. I grow mine just like any other Gesnerid plant !!

I have a small goldfish plant and the botanical name on the tag is indeed Nematanthus gregarius. Called that for the orange colored flowers that are shaped like a goldfish,it blooms in late spring to summer. It is a beautiful plant, I love the shiny lustrous foilage. I can not wait until mine is bigger like yours.

Their Gesneirads . I have to find my full plant pictures !
But your plant is gorgous !

yes, i saw those 'goldfish' plants today at lowes, so beautiful...love the dark shiny leaves.
i shouldhave got one or 2
the reason i didn't is becuase they were small and looked like they grew up as opposed to hanging like a pretty vine.
i'll have to get some next time.
