Q: How to breed gouramis?

Decorate an aquarium that has about 6 inches of water in it with a lot of plants and floating plants. Don't use any kind of circulation in the aquarium. Make sure that their are plenty of hiding places for the female since the male of some Gourami species can be very aggressive towards the female if the female isn't ready to spawn. You can spawn several females with one male at the same time. Adjust the aquarium size to the size of the Gourami species you want to breed.

The male will build a bubble nest among the plants on the surface. He will then try to lure females in under the nest where the spawning will take place. The eggs float up into the nest. Remove the female once the spawning is complete since the male will se her as a potential threat to the eggs and chase her away.
