I was going to get either a 125g or a 180g tank and i was going to put 4 sp. North Karilani frontosas and 2-3 ornate birchirs, and i saw there young cousins and i love the way they look. What i was wondering was, do you think a giant gourami could fit in a 180 or 125? The dimensions are 72 1/2 x 24 1/2 x 25 5/8 for the 180. And 72 1/2 x 18 1/2 x 23 3/8 for the 125. And also would thos fish be good tank mates at all, and if they cant what other monsters can go in there?
 
it could outgrow the 180 too. I don't think it would be a good match for the fish you have listed. GGs can have quite an attitude and they have very powerful jaws. I would pass.
 
I keep my 10" RTGG in a 180 with many tankmates including silver dollars, 12" bocourti, 8" fenestratus, 4" festae, 6" bifas, 9" lima shovelnose. I refer to it as my peaceful tank, absolutely 0 aggression
 
alright i might of found a GG its in bad shape but i think im going to pick up, it looks like its fins have been nipped, but i think im going to pick up and try to heal it up ill try and get a pic, im not sure if it is but ill pick it up and let you see, i saw one that looked like it but im not sure if it is.
