Hi all,
Couldnt see any gourami breeding questions first off in the gourami and betta section so hope this is right place.
I read in my book that when moving gouramis to a small breeding tank, you need not put a filter in as this will disturb the water surface where they build their bubble nest.
Was suprised to read this - is this right - do i not need any filter atall ? What will happen to the ammonia and nitrite ? SUrely the fry will have to stay in their for a while with the ammonia ?
I bought a v small airstone filter which i thought would be calm enough for breeding my gouramis. By the way - is there a right time to transfer the female to the breeding tank ? She is looking fatter in the belly than i have seen her for the last 6 weeks. should i put her in the breeding tank and raise the water temp to 29 ?
Thanks for you help.
