I am currently working on the next upgraded home for my giant gourami to last her for the next 3-4 years. I’d love to possibly plant this tank but I am well aware of the plant eating abilities. She eats heads of lettuce often along with pothos, Taro, and other fruits and vegetables.
was curious whether anyone was aware of any aquatic plants that deter Osphronemus? A friend suggested crinum species as their alkaloid compounds are supposedly foul tasting. I am skeptical as to whether it will deter her but am willing to give it a shot. Open to all experiences and thoughts on the matter.
On another note, I’ve gotten a pretty good idea of my specific gourami’s compatibility, she is extremely aggressive with larger fish but pays not attention to smaller fish like tiger barbs. The tank will be housing her and around 30-50 barbs, I am very excited to see how it turns out.
