Gourami Bubblenest

[DiddleBug]

My male dwarf gourami keeps building bubble nests even though there's no female. I know this in normal for male gouramis and I hope to get him a lady friend as soon as I can. How big are the nests supposed to be? This nest here is the biggest he's made before, and he's not done with it yet. It's probably an inch long in some spots. http/s1283.photobucket.com/user/Passamaquatty/media/image_zps0fa1e0f6.jpg.html

hi DiddleBug, i have tried posting questions on here about bubble nests b4 but nobody had a clue so i just stopped asking but i will try give u some info.
1) the size can vary to the size of half your hand to your full hand
2) he might just be claiming his territory
hope this helps

Nest size varies from individual to individual , I find there usually bigger if a female is present
