Giant Red Kaloi Gourami (4–5”) – Rare Crimson Variant of the True Giant Gourami

Bring home one of the most eye-catching and majestic freshwater giants in the aquarium world — the Giant Red Kaloi Gourami (Osphronemus laticlavius). At 4–5 inches, these young fish are already developing their signature vibrant red coloration, which deepens into fiery crimson and orange tones as they mature.

Native to Borneo and Sumatra, the Red Kaloi Gourami is a close relative of the True Giant Gourami but stands out for its rare deep-red hue, bold personality, and strong interactive behavior. Known to recognize their owners and even take food by hand, these fish make incredibly personable and long-lived pets that become true household centerpieces.
