GIANT gouramis

[Yanbbrox]

Yanbbrox - I see you have a red tail shark in there too? What are they like as i thought about getting one before? Any info on them like what they eat and size etc?! Thanks

Well they are rainbow sharks, to be honest we just went for something that will get to a decent size. I assumed wrongly that they would be like balas but apparently not, the two do not get on, I may have to take one back.

Eat normal flake or frozen food blocks, get to about 7''

I have a question. Most of you know how i got piggy. How/why did you guys decide you wanted a GG? Whats your stories?

Well after a few years of keeping different community tanks we decided to go for something different.

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!

Yeah she doesn't stop, thanks.

She is always on the look out for food. The tank is simple, plastic plants because she'd east the real things and a couple of pieces of bogwood.

Casper is looking good..

Casper looks cute! I think Casper is wat we called a short bodied GG over here.

Thanks guys.

I encountered one years ago in Malaysia and immediately fell in love. GGs are just so full of character! Unfortunately they were illegal to keep in South Australia until recently. Now they are off the banned list but still hard to get hold of. Casper cost me $200 at 7cm!

If my mega tank gets off the drawing board and into reality I'd like to include grey and RTGG's on it's stocking list.

Hey, tanks to ur video, I've transfered my 2 little fellows n 5 albino tinfoil barbs into my 250gal tank. Amazingly, Ruby is not shy anymore! Infact, she became the terror of the tank! Hopefully my 2 GGs dun tear each other up!

I had a 23 inch giant gourami ina 90 gallon , he was a thrill to watch ..he loved grapes ..my wife moved him to a 46 gallon and one day he slammed so hard into the glass ..he broke his fin . We tried to nurse him back to health , but he ended up dying..I was really angry and sad ..my son cried for a long time .

The first tank was small as it is let alone down sizing.

That's a heavy stocking for a 180, what filtration are you running?

Looking forward to the video...
