Bubble Nest Times!

[snowmeow]

Hi again all!

So after getting some airline tubing and some mini water lettuce plants I've just noticed that my male dwarf gourami is creating a bubble nest! It's awesome! He's been picking up bits of plants and mostly getting air and using that to make an awesome looking bubble nest.

I would like to thank Caprichoso for helping me out with this as without those suggestions this would never have happened!

The female is on the other side of the tank and she appears to be waiting...

fry are on their way methinks

I hope so! I am pretty excited about it all. Does anyone know how many eggs will be laid/released and how many will potentially survive?

I have experience breeding molly's which I know are quite different. They had a few babies and about 3 grew to a reasonable size and now I am left with a single juvenile who has been around for a few months now so I reckon he will reach adulthood.

Anyway, going back to my dwarf gouramis, has anyone got any tips or should I just let things happen?

breed them in a breeder tank and then raise them there as well
