okay i know, i already wrote this out, but no one was answering it, so i thought i'd re-write the topic.
so here it goes..

Blue gourami fish (confused)Help?
okay i got my fish about 2 months ago.
1 male and 1 female blue gourami.
And the male was chasing around the female about 3-4 days ago now the female is chasing the male around and poking at him.
and he just stay away from her.. but her belly is big well not to big but its has gotton bigger and i don't know if she is suppose to be big like that or if she is about to lay egg or whatever. i just need some help?? can any one help me?

there in a 10 gallon tank just to let people know i feed them a pinch of food a day and clean there tank every 2 weeks.
 
Well I wouldn't worry too much, they love to chase each other and nip at one another it is common. Sometimes they are playing, sometimes showing the other its territory. It may be that she is not stressed at the pet store and eating healthy now , their stomachs puff a little bit out normally. If the stomach gets larger, then she may have parasites, nematode worms or round worms, there are medicines at the store, inexpensive . nothing to worry about . not eggs most likely, she would lay them. Not have them in her stomach like a pregnancy.

Hope this helps.
