Question
How can I tell if my female gourami(blue)is gravid

Answer
Hi Robert,
Usually you can easily tell because female gouramis, like most female fish will swell slightly to very noticeably in their belly region as their eggs ripen within them. Sometimes it looks as if the fish swallowed a large marble. ;-)

Happy holidays and I hope this helps!
