Not So "Giant" Gourami

[Drizzt]

Well I ordered a Giant Gourami from my LFS and picked it up yesterday. Well I think I ended up getting Colisa Fasciata instead of a Osphronemus Goramy, which is what I wanted. Can anybody confirm this from the pic? Sorry about the pic quality, but the little guy moves a bunch.

That is not a gaint gourami.

That is not a gaint gourami.

Thought so. Too much color from when I first saw it and its lips aren't pointy like the other juvenile Giant Gourami's I've seen. I just wanted to make sure before I called up the LFS.

main tipoff would be the orange and blue coloration. If anythingm, looks like a dwarf gourami to me.

Pretty lame. I was so excited to get it too.

I feel ya man. Love my GG, totally part of the family.

Anybody know of anybody that ships that has GG's? Only found one on aquabid RTGG for $22 + $35 shipping.

 

[kevinfleming21]

that is also the only one that i know of

 

[Drizzt]

The price isn't too bad. My LFS can order me a small RTGG, but for $105.

You should contact some of the vendor on here and ask them if they can bring one in, I am sure its much cheaper then aquabid.
