GIANT gouramis

[Tequila]

Nah i am newb and i dont know who the players are. I am not a hippy. I eat meat and i go fishing.

I just dont like the idea of my GG being some Azn dudes breakfast.

I disagree with killing pigs but i eat pork! Damn oxymoron.

No, You CHILL...... O' excuse me I'm just a new-B know nothing that jumped in the chatroom read a handful of posts and then decided to post 19+ "" icons because I don't know any better. Dude get a life.....
I'm not some Azn (Asian) guy that's feeding his family on local fish fauna, somewhere in third world Asia or for that matter some Aussy chowing down a Murry Cod (Maccullochella peelii peelii), Dourado (Salminus brasiliensis) or Barramundi (Lates calcarifer).

You wanna use the title new-B, well then act like one, don't read something and then attack someone for something they said in one post as a joke. But I made that statement because in half seriousness, because yes I've eaten not one GG but all four of my RTGG's and they where great tasting, why you ask - because there was nothing else to do with them. And I had fed them so much good quality seasoning why waste it .

Sorry try as hard as I may, fish are food not pets. Pigs make better pets. Sit on the other side of a room from a pig and call it and it will come. Do the same thing with a fish and at best it will swim a bit and then smack it's face into the glass - Duh . Fish were meant to be eaten far more than mammals by other mammals. Mammals eating other mammals is a form of cannibalism not oxymoronism.

As a new-B you come wanting to know more about your fish, well you can just either ask in the chatroom or search online. When I had my fish there wasn't much info anywhere on them. I only split thead of one of mine that jumped and I wasn't able to revive, to win a bet. A bet about teeth or crushing plates, trust me on this GG's have shape teeth and plates too. It's not a fish I would lip if caught on a hook.

Well enjoy your stay here and I hope you have something too offer because I bore real easy, I've been in the hobby now some 35+ years.

i was thinking about getting an RTGG. I understand they need good filtration, but what about current?

Looking good, don't worry about the lack of red, I've seen RTGG like that with a whiter underbelly, it will color up in the end.

Thanks for the assurance!

Dang, my guy is almost full grown. I cant post any updates. I need a new baby GG.. RaCe......can i have your golden? Beautiful fish you have there.

Er, basically all fishes need good filtration. GGs should be considered one of the easiest fishes to keep. If u have a big enough tank, i dun see wat's stopping u.

Good current goes hand in hand with good filtration/turnover rates. I can see no need to run current just for the sake of it you may as well pass it through a filter.

It seems like most gourami species like slow moving water. I was wondering if that was typical of the larger variety.

If you look at from the point that these fish do get huge, then your not really looking at a great flow in a big tank, more of a focused stream.

Nice, YAnbBroX - good luck too you all, he sounds like a a truely hip 12~16yr old punk, that thinks they know it all. A true genius gonna reinvent the corner box filter. Probably gonna come up with one of those new fangled wet-dry systems or an near before heard of drizzle system. Better keep an idea on this hip kid. Not another JAckazz with an larger than normal gourami. You poor no nothing hobbiest beware. this Kid gonna be telling you shiite like they like to eat grapes and bananas, and basil, keep an eye on this one he's surely a keeper. As for me I'll be doing what the rest of the ol'fork will be doing chowing down on some good Ol' fish. LMB, CP, SMB, Crappie, Sunfish, Pike, Pacu, Oscar, various other Cichlids and catfish, heck if I can catch it or net it I'll eat the dam thing. Look for my future posts in

FISHING SEASON 2K10!!!!!!, Especially in October when I'll be in Florida searching for as many fish as I can throw in the frying pan, to EAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
