GIANT gouramis

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'll go first, common, female. Osphronemus goramy. It's certainly not a redtail or exodon, I might be wrong on the sex, but the dorsal looks female
 
Don't beat your self up on the pics they're not bad at all for a first time

Yeah I would say that George should be called Georgia, from now on.

:Latest Development:

It would seem that while most of the insane crash and splashing of the dominate male as subsided, there is still some unusual rough fighting going on in the tank. I have even noticed that the females are becoming quite nippy towards the males. Charging the males with mouth wide open, the male standing the ground getting nipped. I even witnessed a female locking down on the lip of the dominate male, that didn't go well at all.

There maybe trouble of brewing in the tank, still keeping a close eye on one of the females - for she has started to take on a foot ballish shape! I will be watching her feeding closely for a while to see it she bulking up from food or far more troublesome and evil.

Have you got plants in there? I'm sure the troublesome and evil refers to babies

I didn't think so, probably a good thing, nothing to nest with but nature always finds a way;)
 
Heres' a funny story...The bear has been sleeping on George's tank of late today George had enough.

Just to clear up at this point here's The Bear,
He sleeps a lot, anyway George had enough and started bashing the hood underneath the cat after a few minutes a soaked bear jumped off. Sorry no pictures

If she swells more, I can always throw in some kale as it is very difficult for them to eat. But then I will have to remove all the other fish too and maybe even the other male if not the other pair. Oh freak'n $$#%&%^! what a pain that will be.
