My New Opaline Gourami

[Liquid skills]

Hi thanks guys and yeh she is deff a female in my tank i have a male and two females 2 blue colour and of caurse her the yellow one all the ways to tell gender suggest female

Dorsal fin nice and rounded
Body is deeper then my males and they are all 3"

I wont bore u all with the others but yes she is a she

I love the Three Spot Varieties but they tend to be much more aggressive than the Pearl Gouramis. I still have an Opaline female & she currently rules the tank with an iron fin even though there's an almost 4 inch long female Pearl & a 3.5 inch male Pearl.

I plan to add a Gold Gourami female to the mix eventually. Good luck with all of yours, Gouramis are my favorites and yours is a great specimen.

I think the Pearls are the best since they're hardy & they have much less aggression towards each other & the other inhabitants of the tank. I have a pair of Pearls with a female Opaline & they seem to get along great.

In this picture I can clearly see that she's female. My Opaline looks exactly like this one in body shape, size, etc. but she has a very round belly. She's about 3.5 inches long & she sticks up for the Pearl female when the Pearl male gets frisky..............

What kind of camera do you use? I just got a Nikon CoolPix S6100 for Chritmas & I can't get any stop action detail shots without blur. It's a 16 megapixel but I'm not really sure how to use it yet. I think it may have a setting...............No, I haven't read the manual yet.

Lol ur cameras better then mine

Mines a fujifilm S3500
4mega pixle

Has ur cam git a little flower settin if so put that on also use flash

And most cams these days have a auto focus when capturing a pic dont push down all the way and it should turn on

Also point the camera down a little so the flash relfects some where else also take pics in at night no lights on besides ur aquarium light that is allowed to be on lol hope these tips helped

How pretty! I love opaline gourami, they are my favourite,I want one for my new tank with my honey gouramis. They have the silver/blue ones in Dobbies.

Personaly i wouldnt recomend that tbh because opalines are far more agressive then honeys and opalins will fight any other may gour in the tank

oh nevermind lol
These are the small honey gouramis which I was told aren't honeys but actually a hybrid
I like the pearl ones too and the white ones. I will have another read at the pinned list on here about people and their gourami experience and see what I can have!
Thanks

i'll probably just get some rasboras then

 

[Liquid skills]

sorry about that ops are one of the best gours
U could put female dwarf gours in with ur honeys they shoul be ok (dont take my word tho) but ive not seen a prob they are similer size just dont get a male as more then one male of gour besides honeys will attack each other unless u only have female honeys then one male will be good
