180g GG setup

[nitrofish1]

what would be a good setup for some giant gourami and possible tankmates in a 180 gallon tank?

what are the dimensions

 

[nitrofish1]

itd be the standard 180g tank. 6x2x2 ft.

itd be the standard 180g tank. 6x2x2 ft. possibly even a 220g tank thats 6 inches taller.

sorry it posted twice.....

you might need a bit more width and depth, could you stretch to 72x30x30 as that would be better or red fin giant gouramis dont get quite as big and could go in a 180

 

[nitrofish1]

yes thats what id like to get, the redtail giant gouramis

I would of said a 180 is big enough for one but their growth is unpredictable i know someone who has a 16 incher in a 8ft tank and its been that big for years but my local aquarium has a 26 incher in a similar sized tank.

 

[nitrofish1]

but what would you suggest for that tank. 3? and what kinds of tankmates would be good for them? ive heard that sometimes tankmates can be iffy.
