The giant gourami (Osphronemus goramy) is a species of gourami believed to be originally native to Southeast Asia, with its occurrence in other locations due to introductions. This species is commercially important as a food fish and is also farmed. It can also be found in the aquarium trade. The species has also been used for weed control, as it can be a voracious herbivore.It lives in fresh or brackish water, particularly slow-moving areas such as swamps, lakes, and large rivers.
