Got 3 giant redtail 20-25cm and 1silver aro 40cm
Put in the aro 3 weeks ago
The 1 day the gouramis pushed the aro around
Day 2 the aro dominated the gouramis
They swim side by side now except during feeding

Thanks for the advice! I recently picked up a 320 gal tank with a stand and canopy of craigslist. Unfortunately I didn't measure my front or back doors to my house before purchasing. ( I got the whole setup for $600 so I jumped at the opportunity) and now it wont fit in my house. Once I get the wall cut to fit the tank in I am sure that the size of the tank and a closed loop system using an FX5 would be enough for these two giants, right? Also since it is such a big tank would I be able to relocate one of my bigger oscars (17in) in with the GG and arow?

worked for me bruh.....even if the gg is kinda territorial sometimes, didn't inflict any damage at all. the gourami is 17" and the arowana is 27" by the way. the gg don't bite really, it's more like of a pushing.
mine was a fin and eyeball destroyer. I know they are all different in how they behave.

mine would basically rip off pectoral fins from any fish it could. this was a rtgg
