Mandi Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Hi all. My blue gouramis mated and now we have eggs!! My question is this, they are in a community tank with 2 angelfish, 1 common pleco and 1 pictus catfish. Can I move the eggs to another tank to hatch safely? Any and all help will be appreciated. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Congratulations! I think Gourami parents usually tend to the eggs & nest (?) until fry hatch. Any chance the Angelfish and Catfish could vacation in another tank awhile? Cut back on flow too for little fry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandi Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Thank you! So excited! I read that the mother will eat the eggs though. So not sure. Still quite new to the gourami breed 😁. Was surprised that they decided to breed🤣. I am doing something right. Haha. I will def cut the flow a lot for the little ones. Thank you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Folk Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Anabantids are labyrinth breathers. Hardest development point seems to be when fry are developing this organ. Lots of breeders struggle at first. Some folks cover the entire top in plastic wrap to ensure uniform humidity... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
