This is the first (second) female that I've had that's gotten pregnant in our tank. First was a guppy which we found out by the swelling of her body, then we found the fry swimming in a tube where I ran my airlines to ornaments. We rescued them and they are in a mesh breeder tank.
This time it's a golden gourami and we'd like to try to keep these babies as well.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Travis

Gouramis do not give birth to live babies, therefore can't get pregnant.

They are egg layers, so would be called "gravid" if full of eggs.

Breeding gouramis is a bit complicated, so it's best if you read about it in an article like the following:

If someone would help me I have the same question, but mine is a golden gourami.
How long or what signs show when she's ready to drop eggs?
I'm planning on just placing a mesh breeder basket in the tank.

Since I just found out today that I have a pair 1 male and 1 female. We've realized that the female is swelled just as our guppy was. Are you implying that she has been pregnant since we got them about 3-4 months ago? I'm not seeing a bubble nest yet.

goshpuppies, this post was moved into this thread. The other thread was a question about platys.
You'll be better able to keep track of the answers if they're in one spot. btw, welcome to the forum.
