Is it better to put a male pearl gourami w/ 1 female or 2 female pearl gouramis?

Question

I'm not trying to breed them. I read online that pearl gouramis like to be in groups w/ more females than males.

Answer 1

Are you trying to breed them?

I have bread gouramis in the past and 1 male and 1 female work best. When you bread them, you need an aquarium that has no water movement with alot of floating plants, they will then build a bubble next and I believe the fish hatch in 3-5 days at which point you remove the parents because they will eat the baby fish.

The 2nd female fish is just going to interfere with the breeding process.

Answer 2

Generally with gourami you always want more females than males. (As gourami, and betta are prone to wife beating, and more females spreads out the male's attention.) Pearl gourami are pretty peaceful so it really won't matter. Note that they will fight a little the 1st week, but settle down after that.

Answer 3

no rely what you get, there'll constantly be one dominant. It relies upon on the canines character nevertheless no longer that's intercourse. in case you undertake, attempt a snooze over with each and each intercourse and notice which ones get alongside. even nevertheless getting alongside might desire to take longer then one night. My 2 canines are the two woman. A mom and daughter to be remarkable. We had the daughter for a 300 and sixty 5 days and then observed the mummy. the mummy grow to be the alpha and that they have got been given into numerous fights. Fights between canines are going to take place. we are happening 6 months now and for the previous 4 months there have been no fights. i might definately get yet another one. canines do unlike being on my own. particularly in the event that they are youthful. some older canines are set of their procedures. good success!

Answer 4
