Hi all, I have had a 6cm Grey Giant Gourami for about 3 days now and am yet to see it eat. It's in with an Ompok bimaculatus and a Senegal Bichir in a 5'x2'x2'. I have offered frozen bloodworm, flake food, shrimp pellet and sinking carnivore pellets, but he just doesn't seem to be interested in eating. Both other fish are feeding fine. Will the GG eventually start feeding?
Giant Gourami won't eat?

how is he acting other than not eating? he may still just be settling in since its only been a few days. they are pretty hardy fish, but check your water params just to be safe.cr8on;1311410; said:
He was acting extremely shy, hiding behind an internal filter and the heater, but in the last day, he's become a lot less shy, and now swims around the whole tank. What worries me is that I bought a another Giant Gourami about two weeks ago which died after a week, and I really don't want to lose another one.
I just fed some flakes, he took some but spat them out, now he is foraging through the gravel, looking for food. He definitely doesn't seem keen on meaty foods, like bloodworms. Should I try feeding him fruit / vegetables? What sorts do you suggest?
