Who here keeps giant gouramis?
I'm looking at purchasing some in the hope of breeding them (Few years in the future once full grown).
Post some pictures and convince me they are entertaining!

I will post some pics and other tid-bits later tonight as I am a huge fan of the GG.
Graeme (my Giant Gourami) is over 2ft long and he is very entertaining... that is when he is not trying to flick water out of the tank and all over the floor and me...
I too am a big fan of GGs . I had one for about 5 years her name is lillie she now lives at the cranbourne aquarium . Great fish very aggressive when they are small really placid when they get to about 4 or 5 years old .
Here is a photo of my pair, the female is the pink one and she is 2 ft long

They are two nice Giant gouramis.
Nice big tank for them as well.
They seem to be happy,the female gets a bit cranky now and again but seems to have settled downs as the male is catching up very quick in size.He has nearly doubled in size in just under 12 months
Yeh they grow really quickly.They are great fish with alot of personality.
Just a bit of a bump :)

Never ended up buying any. I suppose it was another one of those impulse moments that I decided was not worth pursuing.
