Midas: Male or female ?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
The third one is my favourite too !! He feels agressive but he is very quiet :) !! Do you think they can live together in this tank or a bigger tank is imperative for their growth ?
 
looks kinda small what size is it? you will probably need a bigger tank for all those fish to claim territorys...

My tank is about 200 gallons : 180 cm * 70 cm * 70 cm !
i would sau its too small for the fish when theey are adults...... and if im not mistaken thos gouramis get huge..

It's sure that 200 gallons is too small for two giant gouramis ;)
But i thought it was sufficient for my midas !! In your opinion what would be the right size of tank for them when they'll be adult ???

i would say about twice the tank you have so about 400 gallons to house all those giants.... but bigger is always better..
 
I have a project of big tank ( about 280 cm * 120 cm * 70 ) but sadly i'm student and i can't realise this dream for now :( .. I'll can realise my project in one year ! :) My two giants are about 1 years and 40 cm and my "midas/RD" about 4 months and 15/20 cm ! How many centimeters/month grow this type of fishes ??
 
Not sure how many cm but they should grow about 1/2 inch a month until they get about 9-10 inches then they slow down
