Hi, I have 4 dwarf gouramis, 1 male and 3 females, 2 females full off eggs.
He don't seem interested in any of the females what can I do to make them breed?

Thanks

I am in a similar position, but i think my tank has a bit too much flow for the male to build his bubble nest, so i'm going to hang a few strings of floating beads across the far corner to create a pontoon type booms to make a dense floating plant mass which will be sheltered enough from the current for him to built his nest... will let you know next week how it goes.
 
hi, i already put a trap (upside down. where it is very still inside but still nothing

Dim the lights, set them up with a dinner date. Give 'em some bloodworms spaghetti and both a glass of red wine. Turn on some Barry White and leave the room :hey:

Serious now,
have you tried almond leaves? They encourage spawning. Increasing the temperature to 80 degrees farenheit also seems to set them off. When summer came and the tank temperature rose to 82 degrees, that set my sparkling gouramis in a breeding frezny and they didn't stop till i lowered the the temp :good:
