	Giant Gourami
aquatexan Banned Posts: 151 Votes: 1 Registered: 03-Aug-2004	I just got a new giant gourami (indian banded gourami) and it is awsome, i love the look of them, the blue and red is absolutely beautiful. Just wanted to let you'll know, because i haven't seen many people with them. Last edited by aquatexan at 25-Jun-2005 15:19

Awesome-looking fish, and it's cool that they aren't true "giant" gouramis in that most people can house them. Good deal man, you picked out a nice fish. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

Started out as the most shy fish I'd ever had, if I even looked crooked at the tank, he'd go into a panic frenzy banging into everything. Took him about a month to settle down and then he became a bit of a monster, gave all the other gouramies a hard time. He was a looker though. Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.
