Aquarium Advice Addict
So I have long loved fish.
I have always thought how important it is to put back more then I take.
I have bred fish for many years in a row now(over 5) and explored since I was 15.
I bred livebearers ,bettas, and other gouramis(blue/gold/ PEARLS).
With my long journey of breeding/raising GBR I decided last spring to 'do something' a little easier.
I surveyed and purchased a trio of pearl gouramis.
They are the 'champagne of gouramis' IMO.
Well I am now breeding my own first and second fry as adults ,and have two fantastic looking spawns right now , besides my 'secret breeding stock'.
I am more drawn to SA/CA cichlids everyday, but really love this Asian fish.
I dream of a GBR/Pearl species tank!
I am not ready or lookng to sell yet.(haven't even told my LFS!!)
Nor do I think these are fish that NEED to be purchased from a breeder.
Stock from almost any LFS is going to yield a good looking decent community member IMO.
I just wanted to share my passion with pearls with you.
And document some of the breeding techniques for reference.
This means I will add pics and breeding set up info soon.
They're not GBR,they are way easier!!
And BEAUTIFUL!!
