Best food for small GG would be NLS Algaemax. Regular fish food has too much protein, for vegetarians such as GG. Mine loves romaine lettuce and cilantro. As it got bigger, I started feeding it fresh berries and soft flesh fruits. I do give regular pellets once a week just to give it a little bit of protein.

My golden giant gourami only 3.5” right now- so I need to feeding him more protein and will cut off protein whenever he gets bigger- thanks
