Morcs Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 are the awesome morcs price range ?size they grow will they eat my dats how much are leaf fish price range ? size they grow will they eat my dats Giant gouramis can take about 4 years to get to 50cm. In that time your dats would be 20cm+ so would be fine. not sure about the leaf fish, whats the scientific name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 WHY NOT? because it will end up a fish you will need to unload later and it will eat any plants in my eperience 50cm in 2 yrs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 Giant gourami's can be pretty nasty, and they're butt ugly when larger. There's a good reason Helen at HFF is only in with fast silver fish like tinfoils or silver dollars. Is it 75cm wide or tall?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEE Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 man you need to learn to stop asking everyone what they think you should have and choose what you think you should have, that way you will be happy with your tank believe me i have been there done that and got the T shirt ( Oscars and parents :evil: ). You have also posted about two topics that are exactly the same E.G baby DAT tank mates or something like that. that's just what i think trav you don't have to listen to me and remember before you buy it find out about it and think hard because you have a very bad habit of going and buying this start away with no long term thought to it :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livingart Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 it is good to ask what others think and their opinions or experiences then you can make an informed descision on what best suits you i stared out and i made some impulse buys that turned out to be bad descisions would have been good to have a forum of experienced people to draw on in those days research and ask and most of all don't blindly believe what you are told even what i have just written until you are told it at least 3 times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEE Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I get what you are saying living art but you do have to draw the line on when you are getting info and when you are making your own decisions believe me. me and trav a basically brothers we spend every day hanging out talking fish and when you know him as well as i do you would definitely know what I'm talking about he can never make up his mined he's so funny like last week he was putting all his money towards getting like 20 baby dats for the 4foot and the week before that we were both going to get green Asian arowana's then he would upgrade the tank shortly after but now it's only me getting a green and he doesn't know what he wants. super funny just ask fraser ( hes caught in this major ) :lol: :lol: 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
