    hi all, i'm new..

    any advice to give on rearing them?
    is live food preferred or do they do just as well with flake food?

    thanks!

    While live food is preferred by many fishes, some are not picky about them. Dwarf gouramis are not fussy eaters and will take flakes, but it doesn't do any harm to treat them with other dry, live or frozen food occasionally.

    Sometimes male may kill the female during mating.
    Saw one female killed in the small breeding tank, floating at the surface during a farm visit.

    They are not fussy; dried food can be their staple, with occasional live/frozen foods for nutrition and best health!
