Nice indeed! Looks like you will be having quite a bit of Gourami to offer once this crisis is all over. Start thinking about a grow out tank now.

How many Fry are surviving? I am curious as to the survival rate at Day 10. Gary Ive lost about 20 fry total so far, still have quite a lot. Theyre slow growing though, still mostly taking infusoria. Starting to wean onto smaller copepods. A small percentage of the brood though are half the size of the larger ones. They will probably be culled if they dont catch up in a good amount of time. Theyre about the same size they were when hatched, just a clear line with black dots for eyes. The larger fry i can see pectoral fins and mouths on them now. All in all, still good. Ive got a grow out prepared for them once they reach a bit bigger of a size where theyre eating larger sized foods... and once my new heater comes in the mail. Theyre still in the styrofoam incubator box

Gourami Guy. Interesting. So you have some that are growing slower than others, sounds like some competition for food in the container. This is interesting, keep posting updates.

I did nothing to trigger spawning, which is interesting to note. They decided to go for it regardless lol
Male built a nest in my floating plants the same day the eggs were laid. Smack in the community tank, in front of the filter lol

Very interesting! I can’t imagine how tiny those fry were at first. I thought gold ring danio fry were small, I think these were half the size of those!!!

About 2 mm in size, about cherry barb fry size? This was day they hatched compared to my finger Ive moved all the fry to the grow out tub, but only am keeping the water at 5- 7 gallons while theyre this size... once they grow larger, ill increase the amount of water. It is a 20 gallon tote bin. Still no heater, so using the heat lamp under the tote inside a metal mixing bowl. New heater should arrive in a few weeks still... heavens know lol Can you see the fry at the water surface?

I would still keep the water level a bit lower than what you have. Until they are recognizable, I would continue with shallow water levels.
