This is the Larger female I brought back from El Salvador (collection site "La Bruja"). She is aggressive as hell. I threw in my Male GT and Midas in her tank because they were fighting my RTM pair too much. Initially she was scared of the two larger fish but today after a 60% water change she came out swinging. They don't mess with her anymore and although the GT flares back she is the one to initiate the aggressive behavior. Here are pics of her flaring at the GT & Female Midas.
Some were blurry because I didn't focus in time and just wanted to capture the image. Also I was using the speedlight as a slave so the onboard flash was going off as well causing the fishes eyes to reflect. Enjoy.

Thanks, Everyone. Your comments are always appreciated. I'm not able to breed her as I don't have a male. I wish I did. I've noticed that with a diet of only Guppies she is losing color fast. She refuses to eat pellets. I've had to buy her guppies once a week to keep her energy up but she won't even look at pellets.
As far as the Gourami goes, I was gonna start a thread on random fish that survive with killers. She/he has been in there with various small to large cichlids for almost 2 years. She's no wimp either, she will not hesitate to fight cutteri, HRP, and Nicaraguense in the tank. I got it for .89 cents at petco one day.
 
Cool pics WC....that GT better be careful before she hands him his a**.

(*EDIT to add-What's up with that big fish turd stuck to the glass? :ROFL:)
