croaking (sparkling) gouramis - Aquarium Advice

luck_y_777 · 01-22-2006, 05:34 PM

i have 4 croaking gouramis and i have noticed unusual aggression towards tankmates i also noticed a male guarding a certain spot. I looked under and found a whole bunch of eggs! I am just wondering when would be a good time to put the eggs in a breeder net to prevent them from being eaten?

Best to leave the eggs alone. I'd find it much safer to the eggs if you partitian the tank to keep other fish from invading the nest. Once they've hatched, the fry can safely go into the breeder net. Let the parents take care of the eggs.
