papasan Hobbyist Posts: 72 Kudos: 34 Votes: 0 Registered: 13-Oct-2007    | i have a pair of dwarf honey gouramis and the larger of the two seems to be making a bubble nest which is attached to the vallis and the side of my jewel internal filter housing, so does anyone knows what happens next as this is a first for me and can i maintain my filter sponges without doing any harm any info would be very helpful thanks papasan. |

Once fry hatch though, you may have to turn the filter off and add an airstone for a week or two until fry are strong enough to defy the current. |
