GIANT gouramis

Hi,

Some really nice fish in this thread :-) Just thought i'd add one of our very own "Psycho George", so named because whilst you can hand feed him he'll also stalk you up and the the lenght the of the tank and "shimmy" at at anyone who goes near it lol. Although the camera hasn't picked it up colour wise he also has vertical black bands similar to an angel fish but not as prominent.

Cheers

Hi,

Thank all for the feedback :-) Size wise he's about 14" give or take so still a baby, not 100% sure on age as we've had him three months - would guess from the previous keeper about 2 to 2.5 years maybe.

Bit small for the age?

Hi,

Yeah... Been trying to work his age out since the last post and reckon i've fluffed the numbers lol. Thinking about it he was originally in an office "display" tank but out grew it after a approx a year, spent a month or so in the LFS and we've had him about 3 or 4 so probably closer to 18 months.

Will wait until the morning when the tank lights are on and grab a tape measure just to confirm the size as he's got noticeably bigger since we've had him and growing fast which again makes me almost 100% sure i've over estimated at first:nilly:

**Edit**

Not easy trying to measure a fish in a dark tank when its more interested in eye-balling you through the glass than staying sideways on but would say 14" is pretty close give or take 1/2" or so either way.
