Peace wrote:That's a very nice personal contribution, BeachBum. :thumbsup: I'm particularly interested in the Giant Gourami, I sometimes see them surface while I lure but they doesn't seem to be a bit interested at lures at all. Anyone knows what's the best way to catch them?

Another interesting fish is the that Eartheater, I can often see them in very shallow waters but they get spooked by lures. Even with baits, they don't seem too eager to take a bite.
my friend ever caught an albino gourami on a wild cherry he found on the ground lol.... he thinks its a cherry :sweatdrop:

I would be interested to see a picture of that gourami. :) The giant gourami seems to have a wide variety of diet according to fishbase. I will try some of those when I get the chance.

sorry but my friend was so freaked out as he had not seen it before that he quickly released it back into the water :sweatdrop:
