	Golden Gourami
freeblaze Enthusiast Posts: 279 Kudos: 421 Votes: 40 Registered: 27-Feb-2004	I have thoroughly enjoyed this fish. I bought her last week. She is about 4 inches long. Very peaceful.. I noticed this morning she was in a clay pot with her feelers on the substrate taking a nap (sitting there). I have never had a true gourami. I have always kept dwarfs. If this normal? When she saw me she came to me expecting a snack LOL. She has been eating great! FreeBlaze

I dont think I have ever seen one that size. Could it be a returned fish to you LFS? Ask them how old is it?

freeblaze Enthusiast Posts: 279 Kudos: 421 Votes: 40 Registered: 27-Feb-2004	I dont think return as much as old stock. There are still about 7 her size left. I wanted to get her a tankmate but was afraid about territory battles. I already have rams, a betta, and 1 gourami in the 55 dont know if there is much territory left once I add a school of a tetra in there. FreeBlaze
