Gourami Swami;585321; said:No, Even in a 75, a RD would probably want to kill the GT.
And there was no inclination that the original poster knew the requirements of the fish, was I just supposed to guess? Yes, a 20 IS okay for a juvenile GT, I was just making sure you knew it wouldn't do as a permanent home.
I would avoid tankmates untill you get the 75.

No tankmates for him in a 20, because he cant stay in a 20. I reckon he should be okay for a month or two in there, but after that he might start to be stunted.
Always do research before you purchase a fish. If you hadnt posted here to "share your joy" than you would have a stunted, sick cichlid.
Oh and BTW even in a 55, tankmates will be limited, after 6" they can get very agressive.
Thank You...Oh Wise One.
