This is the first time that I have really gotten into Gouramis and I did research and want to breed them. I went and got what I hope are two females. I am fairly sure they are girls (but I have read conflicting ways of telling the differance). Here is a clip and a couple of pics of the two that are in my 55g. I have a smaller tank set up that I was going to breed them in since I have other fish and a filter in the 55g tank. One of the "females" is in the smaller one and I was going to drop it down to 6 inches after two weeks of feeding them blood worms (and brine shrimp if I can find them) and add the male with the one female but he has already built the bubble nest in the opposite end of the tank as the filter and they started "dancing" today. When he gets aggressive (in one of the pics) he darkens and spreads his tail and sometimes he treats the female this way and other times he doesn't. Should I discourage them by breaking up the bubble nest in the 55 and go ahead with putting him in the other tank with the girl or just let them be and see if I can put a net around them when the eggs are in or both?
