Regarding My Paradise Gourami

[Mr Melt]

Allright lads; the other day I got a Paradise Gourami at the LFS (they're rare over here so I leaped at the chance to get myself one). Judging by his long tail and his bright colours I assume that its a male.

Now, my dilemma is this: I have 2 female three-spot gouramis in the tank he is now living in. Will he attempt to court any of them in the distant future, and if so, will they spawn together?

I'm just wondering what kind of fry they would have if it was possible.......

They will not spawn, but all three are likely to fight with each other.

They all seem to be getting on fine for the past few days.

Also my 2 females always chase each other around the tank, yet there are no injuries or bite marks on either of them.

PS - my male gourami is also quite small in comparison to the females, so I think that is a further deterrent to male aggression (if any).
