Hi, I have 2 male 3-spot/blue pearl gouramis, in my 55 gal tank. I added 2 female Bettas to the tank yesterday. The girls hold their own against the gouramis and the rainbow sharks, but it almost seems as though the gouramis are interested in more from the betta girls, than just fighting... That goes both ways too...
My question is, will a male gourami "court" a female Betta, and if so, could they breed? If everything's perfect in the tank, will the gouramis make bubble nests for the girls, hopeless or not? Or was it just a bad idea altogether to mix gouramis with bettas, no matter what sex mix?
I know betta males think of gouramis as opponents, because they're cousins, but these girls display (puff out) the same as the males do, but toward each other AND the gouramis. Of course, the big gourami gets jelous when the little one gets the girl's attention... lol
Anyone a Fish Shrink out there??? lol
Thanks for your answers!
