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.

They should be ok with laying eggs and putting them into the bubble nest as long as the filter isn't too strong.
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.

thanks for reply B although when i checked my tank this morning most of the nest seems to have gone and the male has started again on a single Valli's leaf that has grown to the water line and is now growing sidewards also i have a venturi air diffuser attached to my pump head outlet pipe which i can turn off if necessary
any additional info would be gratefully recieved

A new pair trying to breed might have to have a number of test runs before they finally get it all right. Try not to get too disappointed.
