 | Dwarf Gourami Q |
juwel-180 Enthusiast Posts: 291 Kudos: 212 Votes: 17 Registered: 07-Dec-2005   | i have one male and one female dwarf gourami in my tank. They are the blood red /sunset type. My Q is do the females live longer than the males. I have had my tank for 3 years and have had no problems  (touch wood). The female i have had from the beginning and i am now on my 3 male. Is this because the males have shorter lives or die after they breed or is it just luck of the draw. I feed the live/frozzen food and flakes and do regula water changes. Does any one no why this may be  |
