I thought you only had males? You don't realy need to worry about in-breeding though - the fry won't survive with the adults around and if you don't feed them extra. At least your fry are growing and healthy

Hi sylvia,

If you look on my original post I have a link to some new pictures at the time, but even after i posted them 2 fish decided to change gender. They all showed a neon blue mark near the tail fin. Until they decided what gender they where I am.

Its my first time trying to rear the fry so I'm learning myself, cause it seems no one else has by the lack of information i have recieved back.

All said and done hopefully i will be in a better position to advise others in future.

Hi StrontiumDog,

I read your other topic about your first generation spawning and I must first say congratulations. You must have the most desired tank for Grouamis, they seem comfortable. I have to ask you what kind of floating plants you have for your tank, at least the tank where the bubblenest formed. I have been hoping to find a good plant for my 10G and the Dwarf Gourami that I am hoping to get and the plants that you have look great. I am not looking to start breeding, but I just want to have a plant that will make the Dwarf Gourami comfortable. Sorry to hijack your topic with this question.

hi dartos,

my male made a bubble nest all by himself, but with the filter i had at the time the water was moving to fast so what i did was cut a strip of hornewart(*sp) tie fishing line to either end and stick it either side of the space where the male was making the nest, to reduce the water movement.
