    Dwarf Gourami building nest?

    One of my dwarf gourami is gathering lose leaves and seem like building a nest. It will gather a few leaves and blow bubbles on them. Whenever any fish goes near the "nest", it will chase them away.

    Any idea what the fish is doing?

    Building bubble nest is very likely what he's doing
    Does he have a potential mate in there ?

    chye beng, congrats, you got yourself dwarf gouramies breeding. Ok, to tell the difference between male and female, the one that is building the nest is a male. Females are same shape and size only they got pot bellies and are silver colour. My guess is that you do not have a single female. Tough to find, even so, the prices are not constant. Some places sell them for 20 cents, another place for $2.

    Ok, Jade and DEA, the only place I know got sell female was about a month back at P centre, there is only one fish shop along there, shouldn't be difficult to spot, but it was very expensive, $2.50 I think. I'd have bought it if it were cheaper.

    Chye, if you got female in there, than I brief you more on them. []

    Do you mean only the bellies are silver? Does this apply to flame gourami. I have some flame gouramies inside the same tank as well. I have notice that 2 of them have silver bellies.
