I have had a breeding pair of GBRs in a 10 gallon with 5 neon tetras. They pair had breed a few times with limited success. Recently i moved the fish into a 20gallon tall with lots of drift wood and quite a few plants. We decided to add a dwarf gourami to the tank. Well the GBRs laid eggs 2 days ago. Last night i got off work and saw the male and female tag team chasing and biting my gourami. He has a little shredding on his dorsal fin. I immediately decided to remove the rock with the eggs on it since the eggs didn't look fertilized. The aggression slowed and has now mostly stopped. I put the rock back in the next day but put it on the opposite side of the tank from where the gourami usually chills. There is a big piece of driftwood between that should break the line of site, but i'm not sure about the future. We really like the gourami and want to keep it, but I won't let it die. Could I put the gourami in a breeder net? I have a little 1 gallon critter carrier, but I don't have my ten gallon anymore and I do not have room for another tank. Is there a trick to keeping my gourami safe? could I move him to the critter carrier for a few days to weeks? breeder net to put him in?
