An Underwater Island

Look at this beautiful fish: she since to have been sown with Pearls. That is probably how she got her name: Pearl Gourami. When it is time to breed, the Gourami builds a  nest by gathering up in her mouth leaves and little twigs that floats in the water and gluing them together with a froth made of air- bubbles.  The nest ends up like a little island. The Gourami hides her roe inside it so that it should not get washed away or eaten. by other fish, then stands guard by the nest until the little Gouramis have bitten their way out of their eggs.
