While this fish is one of the larger Gourami, it does tend to be peaceful in its behavior. The possibility of males becoming territorial against Gouramis is the only reason it has earned its semi-aggressive rating. Due to the large size these fish can reach, they require a larger aquarium but they are an excellent addition for interesting variety in large aquariums. Much like many other fish, the males do tend to be much more colorful than the females but at a small size it can be difficult to tell them apart.

Approximate arrival size for Giant Redtail True Gourami: 3 to 4 inches
