I'm so glad you posted that, my GG is called George and as he's still in a tank downstairs I was wonder how he'd managed to get out of his tank and setup an account on here;) We'd have made millions, anyway for a positive ID post a pic, short body GG is a LFS way of saying 'I've no idea what this fish is'

As for Piggy, I heard he got a new tank, check on AC, I think he still posts on there.

Stay clear of cheese it's a in thread joke that I wind master tequila up with, on that subject he went after some banana before thinking it was cheese and is now on hunger strike

yanbbrox, this is ur george. i made an account when you were sleeping just to tell you NOT TO FEED ME CHEESE! it gives me the RUNS!

i need to learn how to post pics so i can get some comments on george and have someone tell me if george is really a male.

i never found a straight answer on the life span of GG. anyone?
 
what are good tankmates for a big RTGG?

i want him to be with some of these... aro, severums, NTT's, retic ray, p.bass, pacu...
any of those?

Not sure of the abrev NTT's is though. But if it grows lg and has scales it should be ok.

I wouldn't chance the ray, but the rest sound good. Why you ask, rays have little if any body armor, so there alot like swimming de-shelled scallops with a tail - very fleshy - yummy to any RTGGs that I know of.

How big is your GG? My big adult won't eat much variety - at the moment its just cos lettuce and ocassional other foods. My baby GG won't touch vegies but eats most pellets, cooked and raw shrimp.

Try holding back on the food for a few days, then stand back out of reach and try dangling a shinny car part over the tank and see what happens. In most cases when my fish won't eat something new I'm happy but if I really want them to give it a try. I just hold back on feeding them for a few days, and sure enough they'll give it a try.
