Can different species of gouramis

[TigerAngel]

I have a indian banded gourami, a flame drawf gourami and a golden gourami. My question is: can these species all mate with one another?

 

[blueturq]

great question, ummmm well indian banded gourami's and dwarf gourami's are related........

I would say no to the Golden Gourami it's not related at all.

Now a Blue/Three Spot Gourami and an Opaline gourami can interbreed(Opaline is a hybrid form of blue gourami) same goes for a golden gourami(an albino form of blue gourami)

P.S. I've been dying to get a pair of banded gouramis

hope the info helps

Thanks for your reply. The Banded Gourami is great. Nice temperment. No too shy. The drawf is more shyer than my banded. I had a 3 spot blue gourami, but the banded and it didn't get on.
Do you know if the tiger barb and the moss green tiger barb can mate breed together.? Thank again.*celebrate

 

[blueturq]

since the green tiger barb is more than likley a hybrid form of a tiger barb, then i would say it could be done!

have any more crossbreeding questions??? lol!

 

[TigerAngel]

Nah, I think thats about it. What country are you from.?
Do you know anything about Blue Zebras and Convicts?
eg: Are they compatable together.

 

[blueturq]

I wouldn't put Blue Zebras with Convicts because blue Zebras are African cichlids and Convicts are Central American

And a no no when keeping cichlids is never mix African's with Central or South American cichlids

 

[TigerAngel]

Yeah, I just worked this out. I'm going to the lfs tomorrow and complain. Cause I heard the same about mixing Africians to Americians. Thanks for replying. The 2 are slowly getting on, but what a hassel.

blueturq, here is another question, do you know if a bronze cory can mate/breed with a pepper cory?

Colisa lalia and Trichogaster trichopterus? Nope. Hehe
