My New Fish!!! (Question)

no, you don'y understand. I got mine full grown. My mom's friend gave 1 to me since she was moving... it's only about ::goes to measure it:: somewhere about 6-8in.
 
well GoLdFiSh_GrL, looks like your lack of research has lead you to lack of tank space... youd think youd learn from that thread that you did about putting all those cichlids together...:o

RESEARCH!!
 
...a trolling we shall go, a trolling we shall go, high-ho the merry-o, a trolling we shall go... :rolleyes:
 
ugh... I can't put it in with my oscars! the gourami will probably get eaten alive! my oscars are full grown, and my Kissing Gourami is only half-grown. (according to you) ::thinks:: what can I do with it?:( would it be able to survive if it was the only 1 in the tank?
 
nah gouramis can do ok with oscars as long as they are big enough to not fit in the oscars mouths.

infact mojo has a number of gourami in his pond with cichlids that are much more aggressive than oscars.
 
Oscars are different, they'll eat whatever they can fit into their mouths. Pretty much whatever is smaller than them is generally considered food to them.
She should return the gouramis ASAP and get some fish a beginner can handle.
