giant gourami attack tank top

[frasertheking]

i have noticed an odd noise coming from my grow out tank and just noticed that my gourami is ramming the top of my tank he hovers for a few seconds then swims up causing a load banging .
any reason he might be doing this ? anyone else's do it?

my dovii's do it, but their attacking water that drops off the lids. perhaps your gourami is doing the same.

hahahahahahahaha

sounds like they are goin after the water drips.. my congos do it too... but they are tiny and only make a very small splash.. that must be maddening

giant gouramis go up to gulp for air once in a while
depending on how timid your gg is, its probably taking a quick breath and rushing back into the water causing the splash.

My fish did the same until I put an airpump in. Now they stopped.

Haha I cant even imagine that. My tanks are in my basement. I couldnt imagine having my tanks in my room. I would never be able to sleep.
