Giant Red tail Gourami

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I had all the color variations, in the same tank. It was interesting at first but my albino was king. I had 2 reds and they were very tame, the grey was a prick thou. But no one messed with the albino. He was close to 20" when I sold him, the grey was around 12, the reds were 18-19" or so. The albino was my buddy. He would eat outa my hand, he got flukes on him and I would take him out of the tank and remove all the flukes and he would just lay there, then gently put him back in the water for about an hour and then do his other side, did that for about a week. After that they were gone.


Only bad thing about these fish, they were so big when they freak out, it was a MESS. Water everwhere, made a mess in the tank, sometimes they would shoot out of the water and the was a mess. Only the grey and reds did that, the albino didnt. I do miss them but they would kill whatever they caught.


Here he is and a smaller one

What a beautiful fish. I got an Albino GG about a mount ago. Already rules the tank
 
i have a few gg's here, great fish, mines get on with EVERYTHING, apart from a large male i have, but he is a grumpy pensioner (27years old) i even have small loaches etc in beside them.
