Giant Gourami Giant gourami The giant gourami (Osphronemus goramy) is a species of large gourami native to freshwater habitats in Southeast Asia, with its Giant gourami occurrence in other locations due to introductions. This species is commercially important as a food fish and is also farmed.[2] It can also be found in the aquarium trade.[3] The species has been used for weed control, also on highly invasive aquatic plants like Salvinia molesta, as the giant gourami can be a voracious herbivore.[4][5] It is capable of breathing moist air, so can survive out of water for long periods. It is much larger than most gouramis (only the other Osphronemus species reach a similar size), growing to a maximum standard length of 70 cm (28 in), though most are only around Adult [3] 45 cm (18 in). In colour, it is a pale to golden yellow, with silvery, Conservation status pale blue stripes running vertically along its body. Females can be identified by their thicker lips. Giant gouramis build nests using weeds and twigs. Least Concern (IUCN 3.1)[1] Contents Scientific classification Distribution and habitat Kingdom: Animalia In aquaria Phylum: Chordata Tank specifications Class: Actinopterygii Diet Breeding Order: Anabantiformes As food Family: Osphronemidae References Genus: Osphronemus Species: O. goramy Distribution and habitat Binomial name Osphronemus goramy The giant gourami is native to rivers, streams, marshes, swamps and Lacépède, 1801 lakes in Southeast Asia, where reported from the lower Mekong of Cambodia and Vietnam, and Chao Phraya and Mae Klong of Thailand, as well as river basins in the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Sarawak of Malaysia, and Java, Sumatra and West Kalimantan of Indonesia.[1][3] However, the exact limits of the natural range are often labelled with uncertainty due to confusion with the other Osphronemus species (which only were scientifically described in 1992 and 1994) and the widespread release of giant gouramis Native range in green (widely outside their native range.[6][7] For example, both the giant gourami and elephant ear gourami have been reported from the middle introduced elsewhere, not shown) Mekong, and both the giant gourami and Osphronemus Synonyms septemfasciatus have been reported from Borneo in the Kapuas River and river basins in Sarawak. However, middle Mekong Trichopus goramy (Lacépède, records of the giant gourami are likely misidentifications of elephant 1801) ear gouramis (the only place in the Mekong basin where the giant gourami likely occurs naturally are in the southernmost part, like Trichopodus mentum [8] tributaries originating in the northern Cardamom Mountains). The Lacépède, 1801 presence of giant gouramis in Borneo is possibly the result of introductions.[7] The final species in the genus, the giant red tail Trichopode mentonnier gourami, is restricted to Sabah where the others do not occur. This Lacépède, 1801 suggests that the different Osphronemus species originally had allo- Trichopus satyrus G. Shaw, or parapatric distributions.[6][7] 1803 Whether deliberate or by accident, giant gouramis have been Osphromenus satyrus (G. introduced widely as food fish. In Asia, this has expanded their range to include an area from southern China to India and Sri Shaw, 1803) Lanka, and in other continents they are now found in Australia, Osphromenus olfax G. Cuvier, Mauritius, Réunion, Madagascar and elsewhere.[9] Translocations 1831 within Southeast Asia likely started in ancient times. Even Europeans recognized its value as a food fish several hundred years Osphromenus notatus G. ago. For example, Georges Cuvier (1769–1832) suggested that it Cuvier, 1831 should be introduced to the French colonies.[9] In aquaria Tank specifications The giant gourami is also popular in aquaria. Preferably, the tank should have a dark bottom, and densely planted edges, with room left in the center of the tank for them to swim. They prefer the company of other fish of similar sizes and temperament. They are easy to keep at three months old at around 7.5 cm or 3 in long. At this age, they have a pronounced beak. They can grow rapidly given sufficient food Albino giant gourami and space to move. Even under less than ideal conditions, gourami can grow from 7.5 cm to 50 cm in four years. At this age, in addition to the rounded face, a mature giant gourami will have begun to develop the hump just above its eyes. Taiwanese and Malaysians admired fish with protruding heads, known as 'kaloi' or 'warships', found in the western part of the nation. The slightly protruding forehead and long tail of these fish were prized in Taiwanese society as bringing luck in geomancy. A gourami in a community tank will snap and charge any other fish which are small enough for it to bully. Like most aquarium dwellers, giant gourami can be quickly raised with larger, more passive fish. However, if other fish are added to a tank, either large or small, they might be killed within a short period. Diet Gourami tend towards herbivory, preferring algae-based foods, but will eat meaty foods. An algae-based flake food, along with freeze-dried bloodworms, tubifex, and brine shrimp, provides these fish with the proper nutrition while young. Once of significant size, they can be fed legumes, partially or fully cooked fibrous or starchy vegetables, or fruits. Breeding The giant gourami is an egg layer, and the male will build a bubble nest before spawning. The male and female are distinguished by the dorsal fins and body color. The dorsal fin on the male ends in a point, and the body is darker changing to nearly black during spawning. When breeding, the water in the tank should be decreased to about 20 cm (8 in) deep and the temperature should be 28 °C (82 °F). After spawning, the female should be removed to a separate tank as the male will jealously guard the eggs, in a captive environment, sometimes becoming aggressive towards the female. The eggs hatch in 24 hours. They must be kept in a dark aquarium. As food Partly in consequence of its size, the giant gourami is a significant food fish, and in its native regions it has been harvested as a customary food source.[10] In Asian cuisine, gourami is highly valued as food due to its thick flesh, pleasant texture as well as its tasty flavour. Unlike carp and milkfish, gouramis do not have fine bones within their flesh, which render them easy to consume, thus elevate its economic value. In Southeast Asian market, gourami is one of the most highly-valued freshwater food fish. Gourami flesh is rich in protein and minerals.[11] It is a popular food fish in Indonesian, Malaysian and Thai cuisines. Gouramis are particularly popular in Sundanese cuisine of Indonesia,[12] where they often being fried as ikan goreng, grilled as ikan bakar or cook with spice inside a banana leaf wrap as pepes. In some parts of Southeast Asia, they are salted to preserve and prolong shelf life. Gurame bakar Live fresh gourami (grilled gourami) for sale in a supermarket in Jakarta References 1. Low, B.W.

The method used in this research is an experimental method using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD), consists of four treatments and four replications. The treatments used are (A) Without giving Potassium diformate (control), (B) giving potassium diformate by 0.3%, (C) giving potassium diformate by 0.5% and (D) giving potassium diformate by 0.8%. The test fish used was 300 giant gourami with a length of 4-6 cm. The containers used in this research were aquariums with a size of 40 × 30 × 40 cm3 that reared in 16 aquariums. The density of giant gourami fingerlings during the research was 10 fish per aquarium. The rearing period was 40 days. The feed given was 3% of body mass. Water quality parameters (temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen) were observed every 10 days. Other parameters are the daily growth rate, feed efficiency, the survival rate and the acidity of intestinal and stomach which were observed every 10 days. The results showed that the addition of potassium diformate by 0.3% gives the best results of daily growth rate of 1.31%, feeding efficiency of 37.18%, survival rate of 100% and decreased acidity in the intestine and stomach which helps in the process of protein absorption.

Simple Summary: Paradise fish (Macropodus opercularis) has been a favored subject of behavioral research during the last decades of the 20th century. Lately, however, with a massively expanding genetic toolkit and a well annotated, fully sequenced genome, zebrafish (Danio rerio) became a central model of recent behavioral research. But, as the zebrafish behavioral repertoire is less complex than that of the paradise fish, the focus on zebrafish is a compromise. With the advent of novel methodologies, we think it is time to bring back paradise fish and develop it into a modern model of Citation: Rácz, A.; Adorján, G.; behavioral and evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) studies. The first step is to define the Fodor, E.; Sellyei, B.; Tolba, M.; housing and husbandry conditions that can make a paradise fish a relevant and trustworthy model.

This species was previously recorded from the same area over 15 years ago, but was considered extirpated. The rediscovery of a reproducing population of this species highlights the dearth of information available regarding the dozens of non-native fishes in Florida, as well as the need for additional research and monitoring. Key words: canal; croaking gourami; cypress swamp; Florida; Loxahatchee; Osphronemidae; Trichopsis vittata was previously considered extirpated (Shafland Introduction et al. 2008a, b), but is now known to be reproducing in a localised area.
