Giant Gourami?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Im kinda looking for a peaceful one, that just kinda moves slowly, i can hand feed and touch ( i know you shouldnt, but everyone wants to :L) But i'll look into your suggestion :)
Thanks
Oscars are just what you described. well they move peacefully most of the time unless you are feeding them.
 
these.. Lutino Oscar , how hard are they to get my hands on?
I am pretty shore the luntino are albino Oscar with a fancy name. The albinos are white Oscars. they sell Albinos like everywhere. They are very easy to find.
 
yeah, untill you feed them live prawns, then i guess its mass destruction in the tank :L although im not sure i plan to feed them live food, i see it as animal cruelty, hence why i hate myself for having 3 goldfish in a 5 gallon!!! although maybe a quick frog for a treat, i joke!! :L
 
i do not think petting an Oscar would hurt it's slime coat if you just pet it 1-2 times a day.
 
thanks, yeah, i only plan to pet it a couple times a month tbh, not often, .. more when its a baby, so it gets used to me :)
do you have oscars?? if so, what do they do when you put your hand in the tank to clean, to they attack your hand or leave you alone?
Thanks

This all depends on the individual Oscar... I've raised mine in a more aggressive environment, so it is more aggressive... but I know someone who's raised his to eat out of his hand, so you could always go that route...

You do not have to feed them live food. they are actually known to be more aggressive when fed live foods. You can give your fish frozen and freeze dried foods as a treat.

my Oscar leaves my hand alone.

Most Oscars are pretty peaceful. It is rare to find a super aggressive one. But they do have different personalities.
