Giant Gourami

That is a lovely red tailed ozzy gourami. I also have one that is quite similar.

Bless If I ever win the lottery/marry an ancient millionaire who leaves me all his money, part from an e cat I'd have a tank with a red-tailed ozzy and a giraffe cat. Both sooo darn cute

I was wondering about his colour too.... do Giants colours' vary on individual fish (like bettas) or is it just because he is young? All the ones I have seen are a fair bit lighter.

They vary a bit, but I think the difference is that this guy is the red tailed variety. They are actually a different species from the ones you normally see, but very closely related (Osphronemus laticlavius vs. Osphronemus goramy). This is what he'll look like as an adult:

Thanks.
