In all truth adult Giants are so ugly even a mother wouldn't love them but thats the appeal, they are so ugly they become so cute and at the same time and they have so much personality, which for me is the key, they know everything that goes on in the room. They know when your trying to take a good photo and on purpose, play up and hide, George is such a moody fish, when he was a baby he used to feed from the hand now he ignores this and sulks in the corner because he knows your trying to take a photo, the wife's chair is next to the tank and see calls him by name and gets him to swim up and down and side to side in motion with her hand, he just runs and hides from me when ever I go near the tank.
And to think it's all because of this fish I joined this site! I was researching giant gouramis and before you know it I had 1000 posts
As we don't speak much these days it's even harder than normal to work out if your being serious or notI'm always never serious. Serious: you've got to be kidding, heating a 18000 litre pond Not Serious:
That's got to be tough, one is for dinner and you've had them that long, it's going to hard to pick which one
Seriously though I'm given a great deal of thought to tasting one of these beast, if we do it will be the one that should have been culled way back when, the biggest trouble maker, the one with the F'd up dorsal fin.
Also very seriously I have decided to get rid of this 180G tank and all the fish in it. Lock, stock and barrel, filter, pumps, chemi-pure, 300lbs of gravel, custom VHO hood, etc. It's time to move on, or at the very least down size to a 55G for awhile. Until I can afford a really Superb Aquarium I'm going to back away from it all hopefully by December latest by New Years.
