k1w1y2k Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I have a pair of Pearl Gouramis that have breed once before (about 4 months ago). Missy is once again showing all the signs of being ready again, be Mr isn't interested. We have tryed different temps, water changes, and even different tanks. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get his libido restarted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Separate them for a while.. Or add another male (be careful as he might get smashed) to introduce a bit of competition for the other male.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k1w1y2k Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Tryed both of those, he acts interested, but wont build a nest or do the deed. Any more ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkfur Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 there was a classic thread about this recently with some weird suggestions about simulating a tropical storm by chucking lots of cooler fresh water in there or flashing the lights lol. I have read so many weird tricks like that. Unfortunately I have never bred these guys so can't comment on their efficacy but I do find the lengths people go to interesting. Maybe some Barry White?

k1w1y2k Posted May 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 I've got the temp at 28 which is the same as when they breed last time, and the PH is basically the same, around 7.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
