madcracked Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I know bubbles can be a sign of some medicens in tank but I haven't put anything in.all parameters seem to be normal. Wondering if this is a fish bubble nest?. Congo tetras, opaline guramis, neon tetras, hillstream loaches, yellow rainbowfish ramshorn snails, cory doras, otocinlous. Non that I'm aware of that do this. Any thoughts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotope Biologist Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Gouramis make bubble nests. That appears to be a bubble nest. Doesn’t necessarily mean they are breeding, sometimes they will just do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lennie Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I had male bettas building bubble nest randomly. But never had a gourami building bubble nest "for fun". Is that also a thing? My males have the breeding dress but never build bubble nest, unless they really wanna go for the breeding I guess. Opaline gouramis are usually agressive as they are. With some breeding action involved, I bet they would get quite agressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotope Biologist Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I had the opaline counterparts, gold gouramis in college. Granted the tank was eclectic reject bin from my work. But they were quite content just chasing eachother around. I had 1 male 4 female. They lived with a goldfish, sunfish,BN pleco, chinese algae eater and a male convict cichlid. But yeah they were constantly making bubble nests in the corners and doing that beautiful gourami mating dance. No babies ever came of it though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
