- Incredibly beautiful footage of a male and female pearl gourami breeding / spawning in my planted tank. These gouramis (Trichopodus leerii) lay hundreds of eggs at a time in a bubble nest and it's a beautiful sight to see. These fish are also known as lace gouramis and are a type of anabantid fish closely related to the betta fish.
❤ Fabulous! ❤ Pearl Gourami are my favorite fish. Because of the Gourami disease, I haven't kept them in over 25 years. I miss having them very much. They are very beautiful fish! Thank-you for capturing this and sharing it with us!
You're so welcome. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment. Hopefully, you've been inspired to consider keeping them again.
Stunning footage as always! Your patience really paid off! Thank you!
You're very welcome, and thanks for watching. 😁
Way to go, Dave! Another job well done! 😁
Thanks Chi. I can always count on you.
WOW!!! You did a great job capturing this footage. Well done!!!!
Thank you very much!
Amazing content my friend! How many tanks do you have?
Wow this was so awesome. Thank you for sharing this great content. Much love and appreciation from Saudi Arabia.❤
My pleasure. Thanks for watching and for taking the time to leave a comment. Many thanks from the U.S. ❤
They’re so beautiful & fun to watch! I just got a couple sparkling gourami for my 55 gallon tank… they’re really fun to watch 🥰😍♥️
Sparkling gouramis are fun, and when the light hits them just right they're gorgeous fish! ❤
long time aquarist here. GREAT video :)
Thank you long time aquarist. They're such amazing fish. 😁
Amazing footage! Fascinating!
Many thanks! It's a labor of love. They're such beautiful fish.
Beautiful fish and video Dave. Interesting point to note is that the male drives the female away after he is finished spawning but the female still has thousands (not hundreds) of eggs inside her. Unlike female bettas who in a similar situation will expel the surplus eggs and eat them, the female Leeri can spawn almost on a daily basis until her cycle is over. 🤓👍
Yes, I've noticed the same thing. And as I was looking at the number of eggs that came out during this video, I thought to myself, wait a minute she's expelling more than a hundred eggs each time she releases a few eggs! Once again you have me questioning myself and the information that I provide. Perhaps I'm removing her too soon. You are a true master of the craft. . . Thanks for sharing your wisdom. 🤓👍
@@TheDave333 a lot depends on how many fry you want to raise and the local market size for selling your fish. Unfortunately, more LFS have closed in the UK than have opened. Also many of those willing to take your fish want to give you credit. The problem with this arrangement is that they’re paying a wholesale price for your fish and charging full retail value on any goods you use the credit for! Because of this, I cull all my broods of fry rather than raise fish that you cannot sell (something that I hate doing!). The spawning that you documented in the video would result in 1,000+ fry if you had successfully raised the whole brood.
Oh yes, I understand this all too well. I was practically giving away my German Blue Rams and Angelfish a few years back! I "sell" many of my offspring for store credit to a local shop, but they're the only small store left in my area and we have a great relationship. So, I try to help them out, and they give me great deals. I sympathize with their plight fighting the big box stores and online stores. . . I get $3.00 a piece in store credit for 2 inch (50mm) bristlenose plecos. I let the store credit build up and I haven't had to buy fish in many years. It's not an ideal situation, but I rely on that little store for lots of things, so I try to help them where I can.
Excellent 👌🏼 video thank you for sharing.
You're very welcome, and thanks for watching. 🐠🦈🐟
Wow. Stunning and great work
Thank you so much 😀
Pearl gouramis are my favorite gourami. Both are beautiful as a rule but their breeding dress is absolutely stunning.
Agreed! I'm also a big fan of the turquoise dwarf gourami. They're a lot more aggressive, but they're beautiful too. 😁
@@TheDave333 My second favorite is the sparkling gourami with its blue eyes, glittering sides and the way it can bend its head around a corner like a snake.
They're on my to do list as well! So, many fish so little time. . . 🐠🦈🐟
Just like me and the lady after a long night!
lol ❤❤❤
ohio fish rescue aquarium size is amazing sir
Fantastic video, full of life and love ❤️ 😊
Thank you so much! The fish did most of the work.
@@TheDave333 and they seem very happy too. 😍😁
🥰
It's true relaxing time watching them, they kiss each other in kind manner . Beautiful pair.
Do pearl gourami pairing temporary or for lifetime?
Temporary. I've changed their partners several times with no trouble.
@@TheDave333Thanks, good to know.
my paradise fish spawn every week, i have over a hundred half grown, and they are already spawning again in their grow out tank. i have no way to find homes for this many and i must let further spawns be eaten by the rest. i am gifting them a half dozen at a time to a fish shop, but they hardly sell. so it could be a problem...
Hello, I had a similar situation with my Paradise fish many many years ago. They are truly an underappreciated fish, and I couldn't sell them fast enough. They're super hardy and very beautiful. More people should keep them. I had a similar problem with my Kribensis. They bred like crazy and I ended up have to give the babies away. . .
amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
