i dont want the O to get bigger that the G and have the O eat the yellow G

In time, yes it will eat the g... not to meantion your tank isn't big enough for a tankmate.

get a 125 gal tank, then get a giant gourami instead.. heheh! pick on someone ur own size..!

lol i had 3 gold gouramis given to me, they were fully grown and breeding, and my O ate all of them in time.

my wife got two 2 inches gold gourami and put them in
the community tank with tiger barb and red tiger barb,
in two weeks, both died without fins and scales.
how much more with an oscar...

Granted your Oscar is larger than the gourami...but I had the opposite effect. I put a 4 inch O in with a 4 inch Gold Gourami I had been keeping for about half a year. I watch them for a half hour or so and all seemed to be fine, I then sat down and watched an episode of something on the tube and when I came back to the tank another half hour later the O was at the bottom trying to hide because the Gourami had beat the shit out him.

I got rid of the Gourami and the O is all good now that he is healed...but be careful both ways with this combo...if your O is a similar size to the Gourami. Gourami tend to use their lil feelers to check-out passing fish as well...my Oscar was not happy with this unallowed touching.

Good luck whatever you try to do though.
