he lived for years and grew to get that size so he must have been happy! people need to stop hating on how many fish u can put in a tank. geezz get a life and cheer up, its not ur tank.
youtube needs to get a life! get off the internet, telling people what they are doing wrong and making them feel bad, not that this person here with the fish is not already sad, and go outside and play with ur dog. if u dont have a dog play with the air, that would be worth your time more than what you are doing now!
he died unexpectedly??? with all those fish in that small tank i dont see how he lived at all, with that size of fish you should at LEAST have a 100 gallon tank!!!...... not to mention all the other fish in it....... you need to find a hobbie, other than abusing fish! you need to get another aquarium or upgrade to the right size tank, talk to your local pet store about it, i had 2 pictus catfish, a kissing gourami,and a snail and petsmart said that was pushing it in my ten gallon tank.
Sorry to say but when a fish is kept in a tank too small it may appear to stop growing, at least outwardly, though it's organs will continue to grow and cause a premature death.
sorry for the loss i had a true world record gourami measured 3 ft long and i had it for 29 years i called him big boy and he was in a 1000 gallon tank with a couple of red tail catfish and common carp. big boy was amazing r.i.p. :(
so sad man i hear yah my electric blue jack just died last night so unexptected i dont understand he was actually swimming everywhere went on a fish hunt picked up some more jewels came home thirthy minutes later he died i held him in his last breath
you should be glad that you have those clown loachs,if i found one i would sneek out with my perents money and buy as fast as cherry shrimp could breed.
I know this vid was posted some time ago but I wanted to tell you how pretty he was...awesome tank and I cannot wait until I get a house of my own so I can have a large tank like that! Awesome job in up keep
sorry for the loss i kno how it fells 15 of my koi thatwerelike 1 and a half feet past like a month ago. and i will feel the same when mine 3 that are like 4-5inches bigger dies
remove the rocks !!! no wonder it died. theres no space to swim because of the rocks. i understand its a 125 gallon but with those rocks, its like a 70g or something. with all those fishes swimming, the tank is even smaller.
2-4 years are you having a laff that gourami wouldent be fully grown by 4 years they can prob live for about 20 if not more with propper care and a tank big enuf its not ur average spotted gourami from wallmart lol
Sorry, I wasn't aware that giant gourami live longer than the smaller ones. I bought a red honey gourami from my LFS and it lived 5 years, the manager said they usually live 2-4.
how am i am asshole? i worked at the local aquarium for two years as a volunteer. I know for a fact that gourami fish love lots of space. Hell I have two at home in two different tanks.I have a blue gourami 1 1/2 inch by 1 inch in a 25 gallon tank and a moonlight gourami in a 10 gallon by itself(she ate the other fish) . some People are passionate about fish so deal with it and i am one of them. Gourami aren't like betta fish they like open bodys of water instead of puddles.
Also my comment to the asshole that flushed their gourami for eating the other fish is meant to sound stupid because its retarded to punish a fish for something that's apart of its nature.
So Tommy boy, don't assume someone is an asshole just because they are passionate, because you'll run into more of them through your life if that's how you view others. Opinions are like assholes everyone has one and they all stink. and my opinion is so do you.
nice fishies but that tank is way overcrowded...looks like an aquatic ammonia factory with all of those large fish cramped in that one tank, probably stresses the fish out too, not to mention the oxygen supply-even with an air rock set up that's still an awful lot of respiration and fish shitting going on in one cramped space.
i hate gouramis, i had one i got $13 worth of neon tetras and it killed them all but heres the kicker i tried to give this fish a stress attack, i punched it, and i forgot it on the counter once and came back ,put it in water and it kept swimming. finally i just flushed the stupid bastard
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You are an asshat. I hope someone punches you then leaves you to die in a plastic bag...That's how that gourami felt. Also Gourami are usually aggressive to smaller fish. Do some research before you buy your next fish.
sorry about your fish....and all the comments below me you can tell are from heartless people...the fish seemed fine with the size of the tank...altho a bigger one wouldve been better...
2 things: tank is too small for the fish...and tank is overcrowded. That giant gouramy is still small though..we breed that fish for human consumption in the philippines and in the wild can grew up to 1 meter long
lol its not the too much going on its the size of the tank....it would be like locking you in a room u could take two steps forward in and one side to side, I think you would die eventually of boredom.
i know.. like i said in my past comment the fish was way too big for that tank... and then he wondered why it dies... the "bettas in cup" comment it exactly how i see this... poor fish
guys i think its pretty hard 2 find a tank big enough. first of all i no in my hose at least, not even a tank that big would fit in my house and second, he looks fine. and w/ the whole betta thing, theyre better in small spaces. if u put em in a big tank they stay in a corner anyways. but also, if she had the fish 4 3 years, it cant b 2 upset w/ the size
it died because it was too big for that tank and there were too many fish and too many decorations. Next time try a plain tank with just gravel and that one fish.. too much going on stresses it out and they die
blah blah blah give them space and they'll punch through 20mm glass...i personally know an owner with a fairly large gourami in a 3x3x2.5 and its a very healthy and happy fish on display in his aquarium supplies store. :)
u should have gotten a bigger tank ,i guess that's the reason [same thing happened to mine ]
