djay Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I have 2 ggs 2 bgs and 3 pgs what I noticed the other morning was the golden male caressing the blue female, I was wondering what will actually happen there would he have fertilized her eggs or will they be Blue gourami fry. I'm getting another tank up and running as he is really territorial and he needs more space so will move the others out. If any one can help me with this would be great.

Alan Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Can you please stretch out their names please. Hard enough ID'ing fish with comon names little own initials. I'm sure I'm not the only one that wouldn't know what they are. Thanks Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IOU1 Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 I know ggs is golden gouramis, bgs is blue gouramis but unsure of the other maybe pgs stands for purple gouramis (if they exist). Sorry I can't help you Djay, I haven't specialized in gouramis Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 They can breed as they are all colour morphs of the same species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djay Posted October 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 Sorry about that guys, so if the female was blue does that mean that they are blue gouramie frys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMAZONIAN Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 Well Alan I worked out PDQ (pretty damned quick) that he's got two "gg's. (WELL HORSES TO GROWN UPS) :lol: And PEARL / LACE Gouramis are Trichogaster leeri wereas the others are T. trichopterus. What species are the HORSES? :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 If the female is blue and the male gold they will be a cross not blue, unless blue is dominent in which case you will get blue split to gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted October 3, 2006 Report Share Posted October 3, 2006 With that cross you may get a few opaline colours as well. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanmin4304 Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Now that you mention it opaline is a gold/blue cross isn't it? (Shows how long it is since I bred gouramis) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMAZONIAN Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Hi all just looking at a "Very Old" text...apparently (Quote: The Golden Gourami is a colour morph of the "Three Spot Gourami", Tichogaster trichopterus.). From what I understand; :roll: All colour variations ,e.g. Crosby, Opaline, Golden, and all colours in between are colour morphs of the "Three Spot Gourami" / Blue Gourami. :oops: The "Crosby" was developed and the colour fixed in America, whilst the "Golden" was developed and the colour fixed in the Czechoslovakian Republic. I'm only writing what's written as I ain't gonna reinvent the wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke* Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Wow! ... Crosby has his own strain of gouramies? Man this guy is awesome. He's unstoppable http://whatdoyouliketoplay.ytmnd.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMAZONIAN Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Hahaha I dont think his name was "Bing" though, and that bloke "Bill" (ouh Lord) was COSBY, so it weren't him either. :oops: In fact there was no mention of his christian name in the text, but for want of a name you could call him Bill. 8) That would fit because I believe that every Tom, Dick and Harry is Named Bill. My attempt at a bit of humour to lighten up the end of the week. Cheers Errol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
