4" giant gourami safe?

[labiatus55]

I'm thinking of putting my gg in my 125 . Its tank mates will be four 5-7" silver dollars and 15" pleco. He should be safe right?

SDs may nip it... Can be nippy...

Ya that's my worry. They beat each other up a lot. Never seen them go after larger cichlids but hate to risk it. I've had the darn things a long time. They've seen a lot of action!!!

My silver dollars have never bothered or nipped any tankmates. There are nine of them the same size as yours in my 125.

Well a little baby giant gourami could be quite delicate.... My blue gourami was really tough though... He died a few days ago and was 7 years... I would try it but observe them for a while... Have a backup tank or divider ready just in case...

He's in and doin well

As expected - just wait until he hits 6-8 inches and starts eating / killing everyone

He's actually pushing the SDS around!

Yeah I don't know where he got the idea of sd's being nippy. They aren't at all.
