you would just about get away with a Red tailed Giant Gourami, (Osphronemus laticlavius) but good luck finding one,
Your common Giant Gourami (Osphronemus goramy) however gets to 28"so would be far too big.

edit: how about a few apollo sharks or a pink tailed Chalceus?

awsome is there any more room and what should i feed i was thinking but could be wrong


a mix of

pellets
little flake
algea wafers
fresh veg
ocasionally some frozen krill
lance fish ocasionally
cockles ocasionally

live fish never (hate the idea of it)

Well the Hujeta and Lima are unlikely to take dried food straight away and depending on where you get the hujeta from they may not even take none-live food,

Mussels, cockles, lance fish, earthworms, mealworms, and occasionally prawns will take up most of their diet, Although they may eventually take carnivorous pellets like earthworm or bloodworm pellets,

 

[bae1994]

cool ok for the rocket gars i think they feed on frozen shrimp and stuff as thats what my lfs was feeding them the other day and they ate some and the lima i think eats frozen but if push comes to shove and i have to feed them live fish for a bit then i guess so be it

ok i can get all them except the worms where do i get them from like the meal wormms are they just the ones you give to birds and the earth worms i dunno

also are prawns from like morrisons ok and should they be cooked or not

If they are feeding none-live foods instore then thats great and saves a lot of time and money.

earthworms can come straight from your garden, mealworms can be brought live from a fishing tackle store or like me you can buy them dried in tubs meant for wild birds.

Supermarket frozen prawns are fine (what i use) simply defost and throw them in, although you may need to chop them up when the fish are small

 

[bae1994]

cool i think there feeding on frozen have to double check

ill get dryed mealworms

and cool ill get some prawns (uncooked or cooked?)


and do i have to feed earth worms as we dont have much loose soil
