Get the poor fish a larger tank. Osphronemus gouramies simply cannot be kept in a 55 gallon. It's age deffinately suggests it's stunted. Try doing more frequent water changes for the time being but then, either get a bigger tank, or sell it on.
gimme gimme gimme
i wouldnt mind having your gourami
i would happily accept
but its all up to you
actually nevermind
im just gonna ask a friend to find me one at the wholesale place
wowowowoowwoww you change so lil water
is your tank ever dirty?
i have wondered this, i dont think you gourami can be 5 years old
its mouth is still the shape of a baby and its fins are not long at all
i think it still looks maybe 5 months old
i think its time for you to get a new tank man or just sell it or give it away
6" and 20"+ is a big differnce
your gourami got stunt so much and barely any water changes is amazing that its still alive, unless you have a huge filter, not likely someone would buy a pond filter for a 55 gal
start by making 30% water changes, and what are your water stats?
