- Hi guys. O this video I'll be showing you how to breed gold gourami from selecting a pair from the shop spawning them . Join me for a information packed show. Thanks for watching, and don't forget to subscribe and turn on notifications for new videos.
There are hundreds of videos on youTube showing how to breed all sorts of fish but yours are the only ones that cover absolutely everything from setting up the tank, water parameters, filtration (or not), plants, mops, selecting and conditioning the fish, etc etc including when and why it doesn't always go according to plan. You cover the lot.
Thank you Andy 😀👍

Hey Mark, at 19:50 you said, hopefully you were doing a good job of showing viewers how to breed fish. Mate your doing an excellent job and being a real inspiration to the hobby. Love the channel, no click baiting and no BS. Lots of really great info, ideas and builds. I truly hope your channel grows amazingly. Best regards from Down Under. Australia.
That's what I think as well
What he said. Great job! I look forward to seeing any video you post. Thanks!
I don't understand why Gourami aren't more popular in the hobby, they are amazing fish.
I totally agree with you 👍
FINALLY! Someone who actually shows you how to do this from start to finish, I'm so tired of these partial breeding segments which don't teach you ANYTHING! Thanks Mark
No problem. Thanks for watching Herman 👍
Nice i love gouramis. My favourite is dwarf gouramis. Great video👍
Ernst Bothma and I love the giant ones! Too bad I’ll never have a tank big enough for one, though.
What time it will take to be full size from birth
Gold gurami
I love your videos. I've been in this hobby now for 10 years. Your on point and no nonsense. But I enjoy watching and it's not that I have questions and or issues with my own fishes. I just plain enjoy watching because of your passion and love for the hobby and it truly shows.
Thank you for the nice message. 😀👍
Watching this four years after you posted.. thank you! A very comprehensive outline of the full steps. Wish me luck 🐟❤️
All these breeding videos of yours, are just like magic to watch. And by far, better and easy to learn from, than almost anything I find on YT.
for some reason, from yesterday honey gouramis came to mind and i wanted to breed them. searched for videos and chanced upon yours - now i am thinking of getting gold gouramis 🙂Not to breed but just to watch them - in the clip from the fish store, they look gorgeous! Thanks a bunch for this video. Much love from the Middle East.
After wading through a waist deep pool of lame spawning videos with piano music dubbed over it, you finally discover Marks Aquacktics, in depth explanation on how to make your fish get jiggy... From start to finish, good job mate. Keep it up
You could set the camera up and then send the feed to a monitor out of sight where you stand and do your voice over. The fish then calm done, just a thought.
How far we have come. I remember getting TFH booklets at the neighborhood fish store with black and white pictures. Now full how to videos at your finger tips. My old man would have never believed it. Great job.
I love your videos Mark they are awesome I learnt so much from you I breed pearl gourami I have a lot of them
I've said before and i can´t get tired of repeting...you´re the best!!! keep the excelent work. Thanks for your dedication and the inspiring contents.
Thanks Mark, I’m doing this now! Wish me luck! 😊
Thanks Mark for another great breeding video! I have a video of these guys spawning aswell.
Keep m coming. Love from Holland 🌱🐠✌🏼️
Damn Mark! Will there ever be a day when you come across a fish you can't breed?! Was wondering if you could do a video on how to breed aquariums and possibly heaters? :P Good stuff fella :)
Mark that’s another great video of yours. Now I want to start breeding them. It looks a little more challenging but would more interesting to show my son and who knows he may take to breeding his own fish. His only 6 but very inquisitive.What a great place to start. Thanks Mark
Thank you for all your videos.
Really enjoying your films, thank you
Great Job again Brother.. I always fined myself watching till the end... Your a amazing Host, with a wealth of information... Blessing and good health to ya from WVa, USA ... Standing by for the next one...
What a fabulous video - managing to capture that beautiful coupling moment so brilliantly (23:10 - 23:40). Thank you Mark!
Superb video. Wish that particular event of egg release was also captured. It's an amazing thing to see the cluster releasing and straight away going to the nest instead of landing on the bottom of tank. Thanks
U r the only one in world who post these videos, u r amazing 🌹thank u and god bless ur heart
Thanks for watching 😀👍
Exceptional footage, as always, thank you very much.
Well done as always Mark. You deserve all of the growth your channel has seen recently.
Thanks 😀👍
Yes you are doing a fabulious job!! Thank you so much! 😊😊😉
Love the video, The way they do a bubble nest is cool never seen Gourami spawn before. Thanks for sharing Mark :-)
Thank for watching Karen. 😀👍
Always love your videos. Been looking at dwarf gouramis for one of my tanks. Thanks.
Beautiful fishes
Gouramis love watersprite to nest in, plus they nibble the roots and fronds as a food source.
Been waiting for quite a while on breeding Gourami's! Thanks Mark, awesome!
Another great video Mark, like how you show everything it takes and what to look for. Keep it up mate, your videos are quality, can't wait for the next 1
Thanks Alan 😀👍
Wow!!! Great video and amazing footage thanks for sharing 👍😍
Another great informative vid mark thank you. You make it look so easy
Wow, Mark,. thanks for showing us.
I’m from Merthyr and I’m not sure I’ve been to the big blue before, I’ll have to give it a look
Another great video Mark, love how your always trying to help us out. Your a font of fishy knowledge 😊
Thanks for the tips & tricks Mark. Awesome video as always! I’m disappointed the dwarf gourami didn’t pair up lol, maybe next time.
As I've said before such a inspirational series, good luck with the fry 🐠
Hey Mark! Just watched some of your videos - great stuff keep it up! I was wondering if you could do a breeding video of the mighty Discus? That would be great!
Hi Mark amazing how you do it, love watching every video. Thank you
Thanks John 😀👍
Another great video really appreciate the effort you put in cheers mate .👍
What a great in-depth video :) thank you sir!
Just got my first opaline gourami female and I would like to get a Male for her and possibly breed them
Thanks for watching 😀👍
wow stunning footage of spawning.
Awesome video mate! I love your breeding series, you should take on and have a shot at breeding some puffers, not many people have managed to do it but theres defiantly some out there and I would love to see you have a go!!
I plan to. 😀👍
Gouramis are awesome!
I've been loving your videos Mark. I used to keep fish about 15 years ago but now travel with work about 25 weeks a year so it is not an option at the moment. Great to see so much information in your videos too, very thorough. It goes some way to making up for me not having fish at the moment. Thank you :)
Man, that was geautiful. Thanks, Mark.
I love your videos, very informative
Ah I’ve been to that shop mark
Hey mark, absolutely hands down the best and most informative chan e l.j out here for us fishkeepers...I thank u sir for that, I have only been in it for 2 years but have 14 tanks going strong....have you ever bred calicthyes catfish? I have 5 full grown ones looks to be 3 males and 2 females...just by luck when I got them they were only 2"...I cant find much out in the web but I understand they too do bubble nests but not 100% certain. Thank again mark
Thanks Todd 😀👍no I've never bred those guys.
You're the best Mark!
Thanks Mark, that was magic 🙏👍
Another excellent video, thank you for the detailed information. I noticed that you didn't put a breeding "group" in as you have with some other types of fish. Is that because gouramis are too territorial to breed in groups? I'm thinking of the chocolate gouramis :)
Mark's Aquatic and coffee. Doesn't get much better than this.
Thanks Jared 😀👍
Hi mark, I seen you fed them live blood worm when your first got them but do you feed them why there breeding or do you just leave them to make the nest and lay the eggs.
Another absolute amazing video love the gouramis ,what sort of tank will you grow them out in ?? Thanks mark
Probably in one of 120l tanks.
Waiting for the videos of breeding the Rasabora Harlequin..
Another awesome one Mark, dwarf gourami was the first tropical fish I kept as a kid.
I've just bought a HMA filter with hozelock attachments on. The plan was to wheel it out on water change days, in between changes is it OK to leave empty or does it need to be stored full?
Store it full. 😀👍
@@MARKSAQUATICS thanks for the reply Mark, I'll be having a play with it this weekend. Never used one before, should be fun!
Female honey gourami and blue male gurami can cross breed??
Hey Mark . Do you have any tips and tricks for how to stimulate a female blue gourami to get pregnant with eggs.
massive fan of you and your videos, true inspiration to the world of fish keeping!
just one quick question though, do gourami eat there young? if obviously the male isn't too aggressive with the female after spawning?
It depends on the parents. You can leave them in if you tank is heavily planted. If not remove the female after spawning, then the Male after they are just free swimming .😀👍
I have a blue gourami (Bully) who is about 3 inches and a newer gold gourami (Striker) who is about 2- 2.5inches. I want to breed them when Striker gets a bit bigger but im worried that Bully is too aggressive. She is always chasing him around the tank and nipping to the point where I have to iso her. Would she be able to breed in the future when Striker gets bigger?
13:21 what are those little fellows swimming about? they almost look like tiny rays
Hi there! Beautiful! Thanks for the video! Quick question: how many litters? Gallons? Is the aquarium?
Hi it's a 24 litre tank. 😊👍
Hi mark any updates on the gourami babies
Can i keep only one golden gourami in a tank as they fight too much?
I thought he looked like a bit of an Andy Capp in the dealers tanks, he needed a Flo to keep him in check.
Hey Mark, Did You Separate The Parents After The Eggs Laid? I'm Curious.
sorry im seeing this in july 2020 can i breed these with hard water
Mark, do you breed Bettas as well?
few gourami fish availble now in the 1970s were popular why so
I have breed the Crouking Gouramie and the chocolate Gouramie and some mouth brooding Gouramis the Chocolate ones were after a PH crash for 7.0 oh to 4.5ph
I don't get it...ive been trying to breed gouramis, I had 1 success but now i get no babies. They do the Dance , she skirts the eggs hes collects them puts them in the nest and then i take her out, I take him out a couples days later and no babies. It's humid, no other fish( there are snails) i don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Hi Mark, another inspiring video but when did you remove the parents from the tank? Oh by the way I followed your video on breeding Betta's and now have about 20 fry which are four weeks old
Remove the female after spawning. And then remove the male when the fry are free swimming.
Heey man these are such amazing complete videos, yet I still have one question. I have honey gouramis in my community tank. The male has created a bubble nest about a week ago and yesterday I investigated the nest to see there are eggs in there. However since the nest has been there for so long is it safe to assume the eggs might not be fertile/alive (It would have been useful if I looked at the nest earlier but I didn't want to break apart the nest which was necessary). The male is starting to terrorize the rest of the fish a bit and claiming most of the tank. However I have seen that the fish can still eat and so does the male. Would placing the nest in a floating breeder stop his behaviour and allow the eggs to survive if they are still alive? Or should I destroy the nest? I don't have the active desire or the extra tanks needed to raise the young, although fish life is still precious to me.
The eggs will hatch within 24 hours, in most cases, and the fry will remain in or near the bubble nest for another 3 to 5 days before they become free swimming.
If you Don't want to bring the fry on just scoop out the bubble nest.
@@MARKSAQUATICS Thank you for the quick reply. I've started removing the nest to the best of my ability. However, when I started scooping away the bubbles I found some free swimming baby fish in between the bubbles. So I'll try my best to raise them, maybe put them with my shrimp tank? Anyway my tank is rather naturalistic so I can't get out all the bubbles which is still enough for the male to keep his protective behavior. Do you know how long this behaviour lasts for? There were still developing eggs in the nest.
Hey Mary just got a pair and I have already breed them have a lot of fry thanks for sharing, any updates on your frys
The fry are all grown up now and they're up my local fish store.
I have dwarf Honey gouramis ... :)
Do dwarf gouramis also eat Hydra? Love you video mark!
I've some do it in the past but pearl and three spot are the best.
Great vid Mark. I have a quick question. My dwarf gourami's just mated. I pulled them out of my 55g and put them in a 10g to breed. Took them all of 30 min to start getting jiggy wit it lol. I pulled the female out after the last embrace when only 5 or 6 eggs dropped. How long do I leave the male in?
Take the Male out as soon as the fry are free swimming ok. 😀👍
@@MARKSAQUATICS ok, thank you. 😁
Bro I have to of them but I don't know how to found the male or female
Question for yah my friend...where did you get that awesome lightning bolt?
It's part of my editing software I use. It's called filmora.
Hi Mark,
Another excellent video!!
Quick question about Gold Rams. They have spawned twice now, but have eaten the fry after they have hatched( not the free swimming stage). When they spawn again should I remove the eggs or give them another go? They are very young and I have three(3) sides of the aquarium covered so they do not become frightened.
The best thing to do is remove the fry to a grow out tank as soon as they hatch. Just fill a small tank with the main tank water,add a heater to the same temperature. As soon as they're free swimming start feeding then newly hatched brine shrimp.
@@MARKSAQUATICS Thank You, Mark
The Rams have spawned again,. All is going well in the grow out tank. Thanks again for all your help.
@@harryabbott5050 brilliant news Harry.
Glad I could help. 😀👍
@@MARKSAQUATICS Hi Mark, Quick question, how long should I feed baby brine shrimp before switching over to dry fry food? BTW, all are doing great.
My pearls have just paired and started making bubble nests
Hi Mark not sure if you know your comments are turned off on your latest video on breeding Harlequin Rasboras
I'll have a look thank you
@@MARKSAQUATICS Great video one of my favourite fish, I want to thank you on other video lol
Can I condition fish for breeding on frozen blood worms, if I have no access to a live source?
Yes frozen is fine .😀👍
Where is your shop im in Cambridge Cb13ur
I'm in Cardiff but I only sell coral.
How long gouramis spawning
Where is this pet shop located, they have a huge amount of fish
It's just outside Cardiff.
@@MARKSAQUATICS Where exactly is that? Australia?
It is true you teach us how to breed different fish but you never told us how you choose your breeder fish or how you choose breeding payar of fish please tell
shrimp neocaradina I thought he did well explaining why he chose those two fish at the start
@@W3TFART hop so i need to breed fish for profit but i cant understand how he choose those breeder fish it would help me a lot
shrimp neocaradina their size and the shape of their fins
@@W3TFART yea yea but by seeing we all can learn more
I have 2 golden (male and female) and a female pearl. The golden ones have paired and started making bubble nests but since then have also started attacking my pearl. Any suggestions?
As they are breeding they will become very territorial towards any other fish. The best thing to do is separate them.
I've just checked my tank this morning and to my surprise hundreds of little spawn swimming around
Pay me I just started off a new aquarium how many grammys can I put in to start off and which are the best thank you
Hi. Its best to buy a pair first. Let them settle in for a couple of weeks than add more if you like.
Thank you very much would you add to blue gouramis and I set my tank up on Saturday how long would you leave it for adding the blue grammys thank you
I saw you had a new breeding vid. I thought not doing it a bag this time mate.
😂👍
I have the Blue Gouramis. Trying to get the to spawn at the moment. Female is very fat with eggs but I don’t think she likes her hubby much lol
Will keep her in for a couple more days. 🤞
I just had babies two days ago, I had the pair together for less then a week never noticed a bubble nest or breeding. I did see the female hiding and then saw babies.
Darylward1 That is awesome 😊
Hi Mark..Any chance of doing a breeding of Corydoras
I'm looking for a nice group of them now. 😀👍
very good, have you ever tried to breed Pearl Gourami?
Yes they breed the same way. Heavy feed for a week with bloodworm raise temp to 27c and lower water level to six inches and add some floating plants.
MARK'S AQUATICS great. Thanks for the tips. Always wanted to try them.
what size tank is that?
Hi. It's a 10 gallon aquarium.
I'm having a hard time culturing infusoria... just had to throw one out... I started 2 more, one with broccoli and one with banana peel... it's been 4 days and not a sign of any.... HELP!!!
Remember to add some plant from an established tank as they usually have some micro life on them. Also I can't see mine often, I use a cheap usb microscope hooked up to my computer to see for sure what's in my batches. Some infusoria types are larger and more obvious than others, but just look for the dust moving.
Did you use tap water or water from your aquarium?
Give it time and you will see that the water goes cloudy, this can take some time and it is caused by bacteria breaking down the organics, either broccoli or banana skin or whatever else you are using. A few days after that the water should begin to clear; that's the infusoria feeding on the bacteria and you'll begin to see them moving in the water (you may need a magnifying glass).
You really have to give it a fortnight or even three weeks sometimes depending on light, temperature etc. It will happen eventually, just give it time.
Robert Chapman yh I added plants in the new ones... so maybe the first culture had infusoria and I just cudnt see them...
Give it a good 10 days .first it will go cloudy from the bacterial bloom and a few days after that you will see it start to clear . Then have a look with a magnifying glass and you'll see um. You can also use a banana skin or piece of 😀👍
What did you call them? Rubi shark?
Yes. Also know as the rainbow shark.
Okayy thanks foranswering. I googled rubi shark but i didnt find anything thats why i asked. I have only heard it as rainbow shark. Nice job to breed those gold gouramis. Ive tried breeding them to but i didnt sucsed. Love your channel!
