Hey I was looking through websites and I noticed these adorable dwarf fish, 2 inches I think, and I instantly fell in love with them..anybody have any experience or info for me? And also the bubble nest is it possible to move it to a fry grow out tank? Becuase I have a smaller tank but its way too small for them to breed in but perfect for fry raising what do you guys think..Thanks
They are great little fish, can be aggressive when retaliating, but never normally the problem, quite prone to dropsy though....
as for moving the bubblenest, your best bet is waiting for the fry to become free swimming, and moving them then, but try to use all tank water from the big tank to fill the small tank so the shock wont kill them

good luck

Do you have two males JClif1995? Because from what I've read its 1 male and plenty of females in a tank, just like Bettas

PC i really don't know how to tell the difference. i also have two moonlight gouramis and it is the same thing. i'm thinking about returning the blue and the agressive moonlight. opinion

That's probbaly a good choice you might end up with some dead gouramis if you dont

<_< dont moonlight male gouramis have longer fins than the females.? the males on the dwarfs are always brightly coloured and you can only have one male in a tank.

Well lots of hiding spaces and a big tank should be enough to prevent fighting
