Your fish is growing well for a dyed one Jason.
ty like i said my fish is not dyed and i am gonna keep saying thatI don't see how color enhancing food could enhance dye.. dye fades after around 6 months anyways..
That's probably the reason it's so small.. if it was in a 200g tank it would probably be way bigger.
Nice fish
I have to comment on this tank size thing though... Osphronemus goramy, first of all grow to double 14" lol and stunting only occurs when water changes are not made often enough - the tank size itself doesn't actualy play as big a role as you might think - it is the accumulation of waste products that does.
BUT, that's not the point - restricting such a large fish to such a small, by comparision, space isn't just more likely to cause disease, stunting etc, it's also somewhat unfair on the fish - just consider the sort of room it would have in the wild? I always say that it's best to put fish in the tank size they'll require as full grown adults. That way you provide them with plenty of room to mature, good water quality and stable conditions when it's most important and ensure that they'll have the room tehy need as soon as they grow not - a few months after they've outgrown their inadequately sized tank.
Just to clarify, this is not aimed at Tuishimi - I suspect the tank move you reffered to was to a larger tank anyway - it's just a general thing I wanted to mention
I have never seen a gourami so purple. I have actually never even seen one that is purple. Its like a purple version of my pink gourami.
It looks very nice and its very different from all those white ones. Thats exactly why I bought mine.
Not jumping into conclusion or anything even though it is solid purple, but is it dyed?
Also just wondering how much did you get it for?
