Giant Gourami

Giant Gourami is one of the largest species of gourami and is well known for its size, strength, and intelligent behavior. Native to Southeast Asia, this fish is often kept in large aquariums or ponds and can become quite interactive with its owner.

• Size: Up to 50–60 cm when fully grown

• Temperament: Generally peaceful but can become territorial as it grows

• Tank level: Middle to top swimmer

• Lifespan: 10–15 years

• Diet: Omnivore (pellets, vegetables, fruits, live or frozen foods)

Tank Requirements:

• Minimum tank size: 300 liters or larger

• Temperature: 24–30°C

• pH: 6.5–8.0

• Requires strong filtration and plenty of swimming space
