Newbie to Pink Kissing Gouramis

[BigFishKeeper]

I have had my kisser for about a year now and he is only 6in, I do w/c weekly and he will eat anything I put in there food wise. I have a Paradise Gouramis with him along with a Potbelly mollie, clown Loaches, and a CAE, used to also house 2 Leporinus Fasciatus also and I have never had a prob with the Kisser going after any of them, I have come to find out though keeping more than one kisser can be tough I had two to start and one took the other out but after that he has been a great fish and a good tank mate. My paradise, mollie, and kisser school together.

I have my 2 kissers together and they shoal with no problems.I do my water changes every 2 days so that may speed up growth rate for my fish!

Sweet, good luck with them man. Like many other fishes they all have their own personalities. I am glad to hear that things are going well with them. What other fish do you have them with in the tank if any?

I have 2 silverdollars, a lima shovelnose catfish, some syno eurptis cats, and the kissers in a 90. Tonight I will be adding a royal pleco and some rainbows.

Cool, I would make sure the Rainbows are the same size or bigger as a precaution. And with every 2 day water changes they should grow quite nicely. and Nice stock list.

His slow growth is probably due to being in a 45 gallon.

Many big fish are peaceful while tiny. Two adult kissing gouramis probably won't enjoy each other in a 90 gallon.
