I noticed that my honey gourami i bought made a pair, (lucky i know!) and so i raised the water level so the filter wouldnt disturb the surface so much. It worked and i put some floating plants on the quieter side to make some cover. The male built a nest and now there are fry and he is guarding them.
The only fry i have raised are cory cats and livebearers! Both of which did fine on flakes i smashed into powder. I have brine shrimp to hatch but i just now noticed the fry... I think they are not in the free swimming stage yet, but im not sure. Any advice?
This is a 55 gallon tank, well established, some plants, but it has other fish in it... Two apisto pairs (small ones), a guppy and some harlequin rasboras, but so far the papa gourami is doing a great job, especially for his first time!
