🐟 Red Tail Giant Gourami – (Osphronemus laticlavius) – Massive and Majestic Freshwater Giant for Sale

The Red Tail Giant Gourami (Osphronemus laticlavius) is a rare and stunning species of giant gourami, instantly recognizable by its deep body, thick lips, and striking red to orange tail. Native to rivers and lakes in Malaysia and Indonesia (Borneo), this species can reach 2–2.5 feet (60–75 cm) in length and live for decades under proper care.

Unlike many large fish, the Red Tail Giant Gourami is generally peaceful with similarly sized tankmates, though it can be territorial as it matures. Its long lifespan, interactive behavior, and impressive size make it a true showpiece for very large aquariums or indoor ponds.
