He's HUUUGE! Nice job raising him :)
ty,it wasn't easy...lol:nilly:.when i bought him the lfs told me he was a blue gourami,imagine my surprise when he out grew the 29,then the 55,that's when i thought it would be wise to do some research on this giant blue gourami,never heard of a giant gourami,thought he was a freak of nature.lol.and that's how i found MFK/AC best fishy sites ever.i posted a thread some time ago about how i got my gg,funny story.
 
Piggy must be the king of all giant gouramis.... freaking awesome!

Brother, I suggest you start saving for a custom tank for him... 10x4x3...
 
Thank you all for the kind words,Piggy has been a real challenge on many different levels,from tank upgrades,to giving him proper nutrition.It has been mostly trial and error as there's not much information about the giant gourami on the net.

What's piggy's diet consist of? Truely ]v[onster!
Posted via Mobile Device
pond pellets,flake food, most fruits and veggies,crickets ,shrimp,krill.For treats i give him french fries,pizza crust.he used to eat feeders,night crawlers but won't take them anymore.he even likes dog food,but a little greasy,oh the french fries are baked to eliminate oil in the tank.
 
hes stunning ... all i can amagine after switching tanks with pacu...destroying electric outlets...just moving them....is how on earth hes been moved from place to place...but he was lucky to find someone who will accomodate him as he grows.

i love his face. i almost wanna kiss it.
 
French Fries! LOL!

I was thinking of getting a GG, but after seeing how yours fills out that 180 I changed my mind!

In the last move i used a pillow case as suggested by members of AC,worked great.after his eye's were covered he didn't even put of a fight.i thought i was gonna get a shower,it took my brother and i to lift him and the small amount of water in the pillow case.he's a BIG fish....lol
 
well thats a great idea.. i vote you and piggy take a photo for the do you look like your fish thread :)
