awesome fish! I love giant gouramis. I went through the same thing you did when I first started - was misinformed and put one in 29 gallon, ended up with him outgrowing a 90 gallon.. 20 inches later..

I have a few 35mm pics that I can take a digital shot of - I don't own a scanner. I had him in the 90's, pre-digital age. He was big and pink.

Cute story...Though I don't like the idea of getting a fish specifically to bully another fish to death in a tank.

not bully to death, just to hold his own was the idea.i wouldn't get a fish just to kill another(feeders don't count)but thanks for the reply......

LOL, no wonder you thought you had some kind of world record and began researching. He's massive! I'm glad you are treating him well.

You've got my gourami LFS beat, I recently bought a "pearl" only to learn it was actually an opaline gourami. So far she's peaceful to the other fish, but she ate the antennae off my apple snail!
