lae15 Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 OK so my female have been HUGE for the last week. We bought a 5 gallon tank. for breeding. The pair have only been in it for 24 hours now. What do I need to do to encourage the male to make a nest? I have a plastic dish in there upside down to give him a place for a nest. How much does their diet have to do with the breeding process? http://community.webshots.com/album/525961197RUAlqx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faran Posted December 20, 2005 Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 LOL @ the tupperware. I think they need something that they can't see through. Got a styrofoam plate? Just a floating thin chunk will do. Your females look very ready to lay and that rock crawling truck is awesome We used to have a Grand Cherokee, but they aren't as rugged as the cherokee. Welcome to the forums, and to our little NZ site! I'm a kiwi but grew up and lived a LONG time in Cali (from 5-23). See ya around! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lae15 Posted December 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2005 I wasn't sure about the Tupperware the male spends a lot of time in it. I will change it out today. There is actually only one female I had three pictures of her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faran Posted December 22, 2005 Report Share Posted December 22, 2005 Ah, gutted (bummer). Well, good luck next time. If you get them to breed you'll have a tank full of babies. Gouramis breed LARGE batches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
