Are These Breeding

[TipTop]

Hi just signed up and are quite new to keeping tropical fish...Anyway i have 2 Dwarf and 2 Honey and the honey's look very fat. A friend told me they could be about to have babies so i put the in a seperate tank, been in there about 2 weeks now and today when i looked it looks like a bubble nest is been made. So i was wondering could the dwarf fertilise the eggs of the honey and if the bubbles included in pics is really a nest.
There is also bubbles on some of the plants.

Awww sweet. They carry eggs inside the females, not live young. The male builds the bubble nest and then he'll entice the female to spawn with him when he'll wrap himself around her and gently (Or not so gently in the case of my three spots!) squeeze the eggs out of her and fertilise them. He'll then take care of the eggs until they're hatched and free swimming.
If you have two fat looking fish it's quite possible they're gravid with eggs. But without a male you won't get fry.

Which ones look 'fat' (is it both honeys) and who built the nest?

While dwarf gouramies and honey gouramies can interbreed, they are different species and it's best not to encourage them to do so. It's already confusing trying to distinguishing between all the existing honey and dwarf color morphs and the existing hybrid variety, there's no need to add to that confusion.

Having said that, I do believe all your gouramies are male

Its both honeys that are looking fat and i have not seen who is building the nest, they are kept under the stairs so there not disturbed and i have seen both honeys getting very feely with there tenticle things towards the dwarfs and one dwarf doesn't like the other going near the honeys, think i'll remove him may have more of a chance.

Those do look like females. They could well breed with one of the dwarfs but it would be best to not allow them to raise any fry as they'd be hybrids. If you do choose to spawn and raise fry regardless, just make sure that, when you off-load them to an LFS or whatever, you make it clear that they are hybrids.
