Hi,

Our sparkling gouramis have recently been breeding in our 180 gallon community tank and we managed to capture some video and a few still shots.

The trio of 1 male and 2 females share the tank with quite a few larger fish (see profile for details) so it was a bit of a suprise that they felt secure enough to spawn in the first place. There has been at least two spawnings over the last week and we have managed to relocate about 60 of the fry from the first batch to a separate tank in the hopes of raising a few.

This is our first attempt at video editing so I hope you enjoy.

Warning - video includes music.

For those of you who, like us, are on a super-slow dial up connection the link below points to a lower res version of the same video:

Never be afraid to try something new. Remember that a lone amateur built the Ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
