Hello all -
I got a pair of dwarf gouramis 5 days ago and its been very interesting. The first day they were scared and didn't do much. The second and third day the male worked on his nest but when I cleaned the tank and changed the water his nests got destroyed. He wasn't to upset, just started anew. Yesterday and today he built quite a nice bubble nest and about half an hour ago i watched as they did their embrace and she released eggs... They've been doing it every since about every 5 - 8 min. They actually just did it as i typed my last sentence. Anyway, I can see the eggs after she releases them and I'm 99% sure the male is eating them all. I think he needs to sort out his priorities lol. My angelfish has figured it out too and he is enjoying the treat. I'm pretty sure I've seen a few eggs float into the bubble nest despite not being put there by him. Here they ago again haha... so hopefully a few fry survive his feast and I can try to start raising them!

If the dwarf gouramis are like bettas, the male saves any eggs that fall from the nest and spits it back to the nest but I'm not positively sure....
