[RE TurboII]

not really bummed out about it, my and ethnics kinda figured he wasn't a giant so i expected it, ill prolly end up trading him to my local fish store because i can't really keep him in any of my tanks cuz hes small, no biggy tho i got him for free from ethnics

that's a banded gourami... not a dwarf... Colisa fasciata... grows upto 4 inches. also known as Indian gourami...

I've seen some of those Gouramis labeled as Giant Gouramis. Especially at Wal-Mart. Those aren't true Giants. The Giants can get close 2' Seen them in other lfs selling them as Dwarf or Strip Gouramis.

haha far from monster!! still a great fish tho!

That is actually what is called in the fish world a 'giant gourami' C. fasciata is correct. The real giants are Osphronemus and have zero color at that size.

That is a small Colisa Lalia...might be a good feeder
