need help...tempted to get a red tail GG! lol

[henward]

saw a very well priced red tail GG in the lfs.
really always wanted a GG.
keep trying to tell myself its not ok as i have two large aros
but one part says, it sok, if you raise the GG in the aro tank, it will be ok lol.

but i hear that GGs are random and can be extremely violent.

gg is 2.5 inch only!
aros are 18 inch lol
i figure, when gg is 5 inch to 8 inch it can go in the tank with one of the aros. but dont wanna risk the aros.

yup u got it down, a grow out tank is the safest way to go... I would go for it if its good price and its available... I'd say go for it..

i would do it but there is one problem... when he is ready to go into the main tank he might fight..
RTGs are usually more aggressive and can do some damage!
my HBRTG takes on my jaguar -_-

 

[henward]

yeah, if the gg dies, thats fine, my main concern is the rtg lol
sounds mean but the end of the day, rtg costs 1500 NZD. gg is 38 NZD lol

what is the risk that the RTG will get hurt?
or 1.5 red same size vs gg red tail?

 

[superleggera123]

honestly i cant answer that..
depends on the fish
IMO rtg will chase the GG or they may be fine

Silly question: When you say RTGG you mean = Redtail Giant Gourami? Because if you do I would say bye bye to your Aro's as soon as the RTGG is tired of it/them.

 

[henward]

thats what i hear
if the GG decides to fight everyone, its game over, gg wins.
gg can cause much more damage with its mouth

 

[Majinn]

dont do it henward..

 

[spwd]

[henward]
