It can't be pregnant. That's not how they reproduce.

HAHA...:rofl: But you are right.
She looks like she has eggs, but not ready to breed yet.
Get some floating plants for the male. Elodea densa should do the trick.

where on earth did you get a female dwarf gourami? People on here would pay for DGs that were not bred by the guys who feed them hormones.

I have bred locally found females here. You just have to know where to find them. ;)
