Kazz Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 How do you tell the difference between the male and female dwarf gouramis? :-? I have 2 neon's, 2 cobalt blue, and 2 red/orange with bluey fins all dwarf in a community tank. One of the neons keeps building a bubble nest and is aggressive around it naturally but the others are trying to help him. We had a visitor yesterday who commented that the female cobalt was full of eggs and I should move her to a breeding tank, so I moved her to a small 20 litre tank I had along with the bubble nest and the other cobalt who seems to be building also. Have I done the right thing as he is being agressive to her? She was hanging around with one of the neons. What should I do??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 Are you sure you have females? What colour are they? Shae Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazz Posted May 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 No I'm not sure, but this one fish is sooooo fat and has a sort of fluffy stuff out its rear end at the mo and has been flirting with the others. Its is a colbalt blue colour but the only difference I can see between this fish and the others is that one fin is more rounded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livebearer_breeder Posted May 28, 2005 Report Share Posted May 28, 2005 I may be wrong here, but im pretty sure females are a browny grey, and the stuff hes excreting doesnt sound good, nor the fact that he is fatening up, sounds like an internal parasite to me, if i am correct.
