Real Giant Gourami?
Anyone kept giant gourami from small to big?
Recently I bought a pair of Giant Gourami from Y618. But I had seen photos of Adult GG, and most of them had thick rounded lips. But my pair about 4-inches head to tail, having protuding lips, very much like a kissing gourami. Or is it just a young GG yet developing that round thick lips? I need some experienced keeper for this info. TIA |

Other features are Gourami-like, not like a typical Kissing Fish.

They will transform from pointed to thick round lips when grow, and especially for red gourami will turn quite 'ugly' in look. White one some will have the 'kok' and looks like shousin imo.

When they are small they have pointed lips but when they grow up they get their thick lips and even lose coloration
