[GSAS-Member] limited success! wild-type honey gourami juvenile
Although I've been getting spawns about every 5-6 days from one tank
containing 1 M and 2 F wild-type honey gouramis, I've not had success in
getting the fry to survive. However, in starting to clean out the rearing
container I was using, I lifted out the hornwort....there was ONE little
fishy roughly 1/2" in size with little feeler pectorals, and a stripe
running along the side! This fish was probably from my August spawn. What
a cutie. It looks like it's already taking atmospheric air, so hopefully
passed that critical stage when the labyrinth organ becomes functional.
Fingers crossed that I have at least ONE home-reared gourami <G>! I moved
some of the 2 day old fry from my spawning tank to a new rearing
tank....so we'll see if I can get more than one to survive this time!
