Red Tail Giant Gourami - Question

[andrewsin]

Hi everyone,

im about to purchase a Red Giant Gourami, just have a few questions. Im after a Red Tail Giant Gourami that in the future will be really dark body all around with bright red tail and red fins, the one im buying now is about 6.5" pictured below, please tell me if this one will achieve it...the fins still look like no colour so worried if they will ever go red...

Can anyone also please tell me which hikari pellets are good for RTGG

Thanks

The colour improves a lot with size and age and the best for colouration would be Hikari Gold or Massivore.

Im going to feed it hikari cichlid gold everyday as part of his diet!
