GIANT gouramis

Awww - I could never eat my Casper!!! Not even with the finest quality batter

Is it just me or is Casper a really weird shape? Really long fins and small body?

Not a criticism just an observation, I'm having a bad forums weekend with people taken me wrong.

Thank fook for that, any forum I post on this weekend I just automatically make enemies

Lil update, added some more fake plants and added a couple of rainbow sharks, it's great small fish keeping again, so many options. Check out the LOU/Yanbbrox photo thread for some shots of the other tanks.

New full tank shot(sorry where the light enters the room there is no decent chance of a good pic until night time):


And a week in, she's colored up nicely and growing well:


As I can't get a decent shot of her here is a quick vid, youtube has murdered the quality for some reason and I'm not uploading the 1.5gig original file:

Hey - no need to worry. It takes a lot to fire me up. Only my wife seems to have the touch

Yes, Casper has an odd shape. It could be food but really I think Casper is just a freak.

Here is a new pic of Casper, much bigger now:

Ur tank looks for colourful n pretty! Wish my tank can look as pretty as yours but i'm a lazy fishkeeper. So i'm just having a bare tank so it'll be easier to keep the water good!

Watch the video of grace, she's so active! Both of mine r still very shy n hide most of the time!
