Thanks Yanbbrox!
and do you mean that its hard to keep 2 laticalvios in 1 tank?
In most cases almost all GGs kept together will fight, it can be done though, obviously the bigger the tank the more chance of success.

oh okey, thanks for the info.
hope i would have success mixing with channa in a 420 gal tank :)
Should do, the don't share the same water space so the chances are good. Things like aros and ggs don't tend to work as the use the same water space i.e. the top of the tank. GGs don't need to swim there but to the labyrinth gland they feel better occupying that space.
 
ok! thanks again. im getting excited! im going to pick up my GG tom! thanks for all the help. i hope i could keep 2 GG and 3 Channas in my tank

420 is surely large enough for 2 GG's plus 3 channas. If you want two GG's i suggest O.laticlavius or 1 lacti and 1 gorami. Not only do Osphonemus gorami grow larger but they are way more aggressive and the chances of two mature O. gorami getting along is slim in anything short of a monster sized pond. These fish have a huge personality so its going to depend on the individual fish. They can be very picky about tankmates sooo your going to have to stock according to the likes/dislikes of your gourami. Giant gourami are not an easy fish to house with others, considering their temperment but again it depends on the individual fish. Good luck, they are a wonderful species and jaw dropping when fully grown.

Wow, he's put on some size since you last posted.

Not heard about the leak before, any ideas on a fix?

aka, mr carter


but then i notice that the stand was also wet. after further inspection, theres a small leak on the seam near the top.

i guess i have another project... remove and reseal all the seams :popcorn:
eyeballing PCH, my guess is about 22 inches, need one big ass holding tank :WHOA:
 
If it's structurally sound then a quick patch up might work, PM Bobby(Pharaoh) and he might be able to help with advise on the leak if it's bad.

Still in touch with Ben, it's hard to believe that little fish he had has grown into such a beast?
 
thanks for all the info guys!
i have picked up my GG's a while ago and they doing well in my quaranteen tank. i hope they grow fast so i could put them in with my channas :)
also can i keep O. gorami with a group of pacu?
i'd also like some O. laticalvus but its hard to find some here in the philippines
