Dwarf Gouramis

[guppymonkey]

I have a young pair of dwarf gouramis and want to know how to breed them. Right now they are really young, probably about half grown. What size tank do I need to breed them? Temperature? Water conditions?

Anything you can give will be a great help!

I'm no Gourami breeding expert, so I won't attempt to give you advice, but I'll just say in Doggfather's pinned topic, he talks a lot about Breeding Dwarfs. It's very helpful. You can find that here: http/www.fishforums.net/index.php?showtopic=44123

You can either buy 'liquid fry' or put some lettuce in a jar of water in the sun and wait for some 'green water' then put a couple of tablespoons of it in the tank.
Another way of feeding the fry, for the first few days, is put some hard boiled egg yolk in a wet handkerchief and squeeze it in the tank.
The female wont have any eggs to give until she is bigger. Say at least six months probably.
Good luck.

Search the forum - especialy this gourami section. I'd post a long reply but it's not realy an option for me right now... but I've posted in previous threads (as have many others). Also, the betta section has a lot about feeding fry etc I believe. Maybe also check the FAQ section (if they've moved the stuff from the betta section there - I haven't checked).
