Post subject:  Gourami

From what ive read the Jades/barcoo grunters sound like the bomb in the tropics
and i know silvers are a good fish

if i want barra id rather catch one from an estuary that eat a farmed freshwater one

but being human and all
theres always that desire to know what else is an option

Now ive seen Giant Gouramis on sale in Indonesia in Retsaurants
they seem pretty popular
ive also seen them in Aquarium shop display tanks, but never for sale

im told they are available sometimes but the prices are high in australia. Something like 10x the price they are in the USA.
but being vegetarians they interest me from the standpoint of algae/duckweed control and disposal of excess leafy greens in a productive way

has anyone got a source? or have experience keeping or breeding them?

other option would be Kissing Gourami
also raised for food in Indo 20-25cm long
