Red Giant Gourami

Red Giant Gourami (Osphronemus laticlavius)
A massive, majestic gourami species with vibrant red tones, perfect for large showcase aquariums

The Red Giant Gourami is an impressive freshwater fish that can grow to massive sizes, displaying vibrant red-orange coloration as it matures. Known for its intelligence and ability to recognize its keeper, this species is a true centerpiece fish that requires a very large, well-filtered aquarium. Peaceful when young, it can become territorial as it grows and should be kept with similarly sized tankmates.
