Aquarium Advice Regular
I'm thinking about breeding dwarf gouramis. My expertise is with bettas, but I don't want to start with breeding an aggressive fish. [all those jars take up a lot of room].
I thought gouramis may be a good place to start so I will be reading up on the subject over the next couple of weeks.
My first question/concern is this:
1. I don't want to end up with more fish then I can handle. I know I'm being ambitious here, but lets just say I am able to breed fish. How many dwarf gouramis are we talking about here after... say 10 - 12 weeks?
2. When the time comes to select fish to buy and breed what should I look for? I know with bettas there is no guarantee the fish will take to each other. Should I start with one pair and see how it goes or buy several at one time?
I'll have more questions later. These were the first to come to mind.
thanx
