I used to have mine with cichlids.........then he started being way way too agressive....he's by himself..........if anyone is interested.....I'm giving him away. I don't know how he'd do with tankmates....

How about some big Red Hook Silver dollars

Mine wiped out 6 dollars in no time

Does anyone have tips for good Gourami tankmates? Mine was originally in a tank with a pike when I got it. Unfortunately the pike was kicking it's ass. Then I purchased the fish and decided that it would work in my 210 with a pair of Oscars, a Jack Dempsey and a few Severums, but the Oscars and the Jd decided to terrorize the poor guy untill I shifted some fish and put him in a 180 all by itself. Seems like a really placid fish. What could I try that would be complimentary and relatively peaceful? Any ideas?

As can be seen in many of the pictures and vids I have posted in the past, mine lived for about 2 yrs with red parrot and angel fish, Until recently, they only fought with each other. Though there is still a half dollar size pink convict and a 7 inch balas shark in the tank along with 2, 4~6 inch cats. My RTGG's went crazy and kill off the 2 huge male angels. They killed off the female 3 months earlier, while I was away.

So I believe sooner or later all GG's will turn into bullies at the least or killers at the most. Keeping them either alone or with big kick Azz fish is best.

The one thing I've never heard any problems with but seen plenty on here is GGs being kept with silver aros

OH wait I read that wrong...Had NO problems with...
I got mine in with 3 Aros that he doesn't bother...everybody else, well? we'll see...I know he doesn't really care for a GT 2x his size for sure...

Wow zen, PCH is starting to pack on the size!

Just to clear up, Seen many GGs with Aros = no reported problems

Yeah, the move to the bigger grow-out tank made him do another growth spurt...It's funny, some days I look at him and he looks all of the sudden noticeably bigger...like overnight...
