Peter McLeod Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 Has anyone had experience at breeding and obtaining Cocolate gouramis. I know they are mouth brooders but thats about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted May 3, 2003 Report Share Posted May 3, 2003 I've had some experience with them - can be a bit tempremental to keep. Make sure that there is enough plant cover so that sub-dominant fish are not harrassed to death. I got them to spawn before (the pair layed their eggs on a flatish bit of driftwood and then the female picked them up into her mouth) but the female only held the eggs for 3 days before she ate them (she should have kept them/fry in her mouth for about 14 days). After that a dose of algaecide did in all the ambulia that the less dominant fish had been hiding in, then the dominant male killed them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajbroome Posted May 4, 2003 Report Share Posted May 4, 2003 Hi, I'm currently 'fish-sitting', for the next couple of months, a lone chocolate gourami and wouldn't mind a couple more if anyone has them. Andrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
