So I got lucky about a year ago and I managed to get a male and female honey gourami. Since then they have matured, or at least the male has become dark to black on his lower half and up to his throat as well as become more bulky. The female is a bit lighter in both her orange/red color as well as the darkening along her sides. The darkening began about a months and a half ago on both of them.
The male made a large bubble nest two days ago, I accidentally broke it up during a water change, but he has been busy and has an even larger nest built today!
Now here is my possible problem or issue, the male is constantly chasing the female away no matter where she is in the tank. Have they already mated? how can I tell if there are babies in the nest? Is there anything I can do to help the process along?
Also, I have only a small school of neon tetras in there now, will this be a problem?
Thanks in advance for any and all advice!
