I bought 2 honey gouramis yesterday.
Are they easy to breed??
btw i have a 50Ltr tank

Cheers

Yes... they are easy to breed, but rearing the fry is more difficult due to the size (first foods being infusoria), & then newly hatched brine shrimp almost essential...( Not like most other Gouramis that you can basically kick off with powdered dry foods).

cool thanks

Also providing you have at least 1 male and 1 female.... Otherwise, they're extremely difficult, or virtually impossible to breed......
