no body?

You may get a better response if you post in the other monster fish section as the GG is not a characin and there is no Anabantid or labrynth fish section. I was'nt even aware that there were more than one type of Giant Gouramy....Someone here might chime in though.

I think its the common Giant Gourami as it is just called Giant gourami... The only other variations of GG that I know of are the Red tail Giant Gourami and the Albino Giant Gourami...

1st one is the Red Tailed Giant Gourami(Osphronemus laticlavius)..2nd is The Albino Giant Gourami..Last is Your Giant Gourami .....Sorry I'm wrong...GG and Albino GG both have the same scientific name which is Osphronemus goramy so they are both the same kind of GG but the Albino ones are only color variations...Correct me if I'm wrong I don't know much just trying to help
