	Feeding Dwarf Gourami's!
AngelZoo Fish Addict Posts: 771 Kudos: 501 Votes: 1 Registered: 16-Dec-2003	Ok, I wanted to know what you all feed your Dwarf Gourami's. I've heard they eat bugs and veggie matter in nature. But do they eat things like FISH? It's really important to me to have the best diet possible for all my fish. Also, how do you ounce Gourami... Gor-Ah-Me? Gor-A-My?

I don't know if they eat fish, however. Maybe someone else does... And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

There is no need to feed them fish (no need to fed any fish fish feeder fish). Gouramis are not picky at all, and will accept just about anything you give them.

Neon Man Small Fry Posts: 13 Kudos: 8 Votes: 5 Registered: 12-Aug-2004	I feed my Cobalt Gouramis flakes daily (Tetra Pro's Tropical Crisps, e.g.), and freeze-dried blood worms three times per week. They also occasionally "help" my Corydoras clean up the sinking wafers! All best, Joe
