No not in my community tank,in the breeding tank.They would not stand a chance in my community tank.

Breeding Gourami, whats a good breeding tank setup???
mumzy50 replied to dwalk's topic in General Breeding
I breed dwarf gouramis.I have floating plants,bare tank bottom.Java moss on bottem.Temp 80,ph 6.8. sponge filter hardly moving surface.Put him in first,for a day,then add her.Do a water change that night.Watch him in case he gets nasty.Its good if you can feed them up on live food before you put them together.I put live food in breeding tank, till i see him building a nest.Get some inforsoria going so its ready when those babies are free swimming.Good luck -
angel fish looks like hes got a big worm coming out of him

I think its a poo,maybe its constipated -
At least yours did it.Im getting very jealous of you all. :lol: I have no trouble with my other fish,except for these so called rabbits.
-
I will take him out for a week and see if he missed her.Tank setting are fine,plenty places to go and nest.If he does not do it he can join the turtles.Just joking :lol:
-
I guess i better start practiceing then.I dont think the bin man will be pleased :lol:
-
Mine wont breed.I dont want to lower the temp,as my other fish are happy.Do i need to place them in another tank to get them to breed.Others have theirs breed in there communety tanks.She is full of eggs and hes not interested.I thought they bred like rabbits.
-
So would i be better off practicing with cheaper ones to start with.I want to cut some lids for a couple of tanks.
-
Thanks caserole.Sorry for jumping your post,but i would like to learn to do it.And its no good starting with cheap cutters.
-
Where do you get a good glass cutter from?.I would like to give it a go.Do they cost a lot of money?.
-
Hi Donna same thing happened to me so dont feel to bad.I used tonic salt with mine,1 table spoon to twenty litres.It healed okay.
-
You can cross the blue,neons,colbults,but not the honeys.They live in my comunity tank so no chance of breeding,till i put them in the breeding tank.The honeys are in with the guppys.I need more tanks :lol:
-
Hi Olly your gouramis look great.But i agree with Dixon your blue female does look like a male,not just in colour but fin shape.And your right females are starting to have colour.Its not always the boys that are colourful.I have just had a pair of neons,colbult blue.females and blues dwarfs brought down from a breeder,I can now add these to my orange,honeys and colbult.Good luck with yours.And till me your secret as to how you got that baby gourami to grow so quick.
-
Dont worry i just use my hot water tap top it back up,and they are fine.I use to be like you and use just cold,till my daughter told me she was useing hot tap.And i have not had a problem.
-
I have found out i have two females.Thanks Afrikan i know what you meant by delicate now i seen a picture on google.Now i will see if the pet shop will swap one of them for a male
-
I will try to be nice to Mitzy,and maybe she can take a few pic for me.To tell the truth she owes me heaps :lol:
-
I found them to messy,and poo alot thats why i got rid of mine.They would eat the food meant for my fish,and they can eat.
-
Mitzy you did,you need glases.Now one of them has paired up with the female keyhole.If it was a male,would the tube be longer,or shorter.I need to know so i can get it a partner.
-
They both look like twins,same marking same fin shape.The white tube is small on both more like a pimple.You might have ripped me off Mitzy :lol:
-
No pic..They were meant to be male and female.Looks like what the female fighters have.But i have heard that males can have a white tube hanging down.
-
I have to rams with a white tube hanging down,are these two females.
-
I lost two who were doing that when i first got back into fish as the nitrates were a little high,It might pay to test your water.
-
Hi i would expect that of a male but not the female.My females dont stay still,and my daughters ones are all over the place.Is it getting picked on?.
