Plan for the following, if you get one at 4'' it will grow upwards of 1-1.5'' a month until it gets to about 11-12'' before it slows down. Max size around 24'' depending on type. These fish will not grow to their tank, a lot of people make this mistake, plan ahead:)

Any more questions, ask away

I know that they wont grow to their tank . No fish does , i am only asking on the full size ( which is 24inch as you are saying ) and if there is a diffrent name of them .

Thank you for replying to my post anyways .
 
i have a 120Gal tank anyway so i think 2foot fish would be a bit cramped in there if i did get him , and as i have no room for a larger tank i prob's wont be getting him .

Sorry, I meant no offense.

Chances are they are labeled as giant gourami or red tailed gourami. Both get to roughly the same size, other variants are quite rare, some only documented

Na it's ok , it is labled as a Vampior Gourami , but as i have not heard of thay sort before i wasnt sure if it is labled correctly . As i Did a search on Google and couldnt find anything about them .


I have had a GRTG before got about 10inch but saddly i had to get rid of her about 2 months back because of her getting beat up by my Blackbelt Cichlid too much .
