Giant Gourami eats Zucchini

[@baldthecodest3295]

She's an absolute beauty, such a large animal yet so gentle! How old is she?

[@paulspets9318]

Thanks! She’s about 16-17 years old.

@@paulspets9318 wow, I’ve never heard of them living that long in captivity. You take great care of her

[@fieldofreeds8581]

Do you just feed her plant based foods?
She’s so smart! She knows when you’re saying goodbye and gets upset 😂 it’s crazy how so many ignorant people think fish are dumb and don’t understand or feel anything. They’re wrong!!

[@paulspets9318]

100% agree! It annoys me that people think Like that! I mostly feed plant based foods, also occasionally some fish pellets too.

What’s Sammy’s length and weight? She’s beautiful

[@paulspets9318]

Thanks! Length is approx 60cm or just under 2 feet. Weight I have no idea!

[@srinivasmarneedi5138]

What pellets are you feeding or Is it only the vegetables?

[@paulspets9318]

I mostly feed vegetables, also algae wafers and occasionally pellets, but i can’t recall the brand..

Did you buy her when she was young?

[@paulspets9318]

Yes we believe she was between 1 and 3 years old when we got her - she was about half the size back then!

[@saifulrizal7028]

When they are small do they eat vegetable like that?

[@paulspets9318]

Every fish will be different, mine started quite young but had already grown quite a bit.
