I doubt that you gouramis are showing breeding activity. They are probably just sparring over territory. If you want to breed gouramis, you have to condition them for a few weeks. Live foods are best. When conditioned, raise water temperature up to the lower 80's and drop the water level of the tank. You need some type of floating plants in the tank for the male gourami to incorporate into the bubble nest. Otherwise they are like your typical bubble nest breeders.
