Ciara Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hi again Well today I went to my LFS after stopping off next door to get some rabbit pellets... and I got what is supposedly a female gourami, hopefully will try and spawn with my male - if in fact it is a girl. Can you all please take a look at her (she is half the size, just a wee bubba) and tell me if you think it is male, or female? Thankyou! Apologies for my poor photo-taking skills. And my boysie, nearly all coloured up, unfortunately the flash always makes him fade after the first pic! He had a pure black mask just seconds before I took this pic. Starting to fade already! Doppelganger! LOL *what u lookin at mister* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciara Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 :blink: I think it's a boy, it has the same shape fins as my other gourami. *anyone want a gourami* :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciara Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Please, anyone with a female dwarf gourami pic can you post it or link it so I can get a good look and decide for myself next time, instead of relying on LFS ppl. Thanks! *begs* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishchick Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 hmm, probably another male. Females are very silvery in colour and have rounded ends to the fins. Chuna are my favourite dwarf gourami! Look after them! Cheeers, J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciara Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Thanks someone! I love Colisa chuna too, I just wish I had a girl to put with my male! Oh well, the new baby boy can live in the community tank, he has settled in really well so far and seems very happy, swimming around pecking at plants and food. No wonder my big male coloured up and flared at him, he must have known it wasn't a girl. I'll put the new boy in his own tank in due course, and then I might hopefully have two pairs.... better take Faewyn with me next time I go to the LFS! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 Looks like male, it has got pointies! If you didnt have chicken pox at your house I would and see for myself (and pinch that spare tank ) Edit: I will take the newby and give you a female?

Ciara Posted July 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 :blink: Darn my skills at sexing colisa chuna, and darn the playgroup kids for infesting mine with chickenpox! You can have my new boysy Faewyn, he is tiny though and won't be ready to spawn for awhile. Don't worry bout buying me another, the bub was only $4... Have to wait for a few weeks though, til my festy children are safe to mingle with again. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Posted July 19, 2005 Report Share Posted July 19, 2005 I will get you a female so then you can have a pair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciara Posted July 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 :lol: The new gourami boy ( ) is slightly different in personality to my bigger male. He isn't as shy and seems very happy this morning, mingling with the guppies and co. He is so small!!! Also he has slightly more reddish colouring so will be interesting to see how he turns out when he is bigger. He'll be here waiting til the chickenpox epidemic is over! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
