If you have 2 gouramus in a 5 gallon tank how do you get your gouramis to stop fighting?
Gouramis aren't really great fish to have together unless they have room to move around (e.g. at least 5 gallons per fish). Your tank is MUCH too small to have two gouramis, they're fighting for territory. If you don't want to return one to the fish store, then you should definitly just get a bigger tank. Unless you have dwarf gouramis, you should have them in at least 20 gallons. It also depends on what kind of gouramis you have. Some are more social and are more likely to school (dwarf gouramis, pearl gouramis) whereas others prefer to be top dog (opaline gouramis, blue gouramis). Good luck!

How long does a tiger barb live?
Barbs, including the green tiger barb, are external free spawners. This means that they do not carry fertilized eggs, but that the eggs are fertilized externally. Females will develop eggs when they are in good condition; meaning good water quality and well fed. Essentially they will carry eggs until they are triggered to spawn. If they are not triggered to spawn, the eggs will often be re-absorbed and used and nourishment.

You have two tiger barbs in your fish tank They are chasing each other in circles and than there lips are locked Are they mating?
Sounds more like they are fighting. Two tiger barbs is not a good idea. They are fairly aggressive, schooling fish. You should have at least six or eight to spread the aggression around and prevent them bullying each other, or the other fish in the tanks. If there is room in your aquarium, increasing the number of them will probably help.
