Hey everyone I bought a pink kissing gourami in February. It is now july as you all know lol. And it has not grown at all. Its the same size 2 inches. The thing eats like crazy it just never grows. I know its not a monster fish but I still like em haha. Anyone have one or know anything about them that could give me advice? Or an explantion why it never grows. It feeds good on frozen krill, frozen and freeze dried bloodworms, flakes, and pellets. It definatly shouldve grown.
Thank you everyone!

You might be better suited if you post this on our sister site, aquariacentral.com. There's likely to be more people interested in them over there.
 
Mine grow slowly too. I feed mine between 2 and 4 times a day sometimes and they are slow. I don't understand why.
 
I've had one for a couple months and its grown about 2" from 2-4". I feed flakes, small pellets and he also samples the shrimp and tilapia meant for he rays. They actually get quite large in a year or so.

They are an extremely slow growing fish. But like any fish, feeding good quality, high protein foods (when the fishes digestive tracts can handle it) + lots and lots of water changes will encourage growth.

Blood worms and mosquito larva put on weight quick.

Ive been feeding my gourami tank freeze dried blood worms as well as frozen bloodworms. Also do 2 different kinds of flakes as well as pellets. And as a treat frozen krill
