You would also need a male in there to fertilize the eggs. If you want tons of gourami babies you would have to put the male gourami back in (or buying another male gourami would work too I guess), or you can just chalk this batch of eggs up to fish food and wait for the next time she gets pregnant.

The male needs to be in the tank and fertalise as the female spawns. And i'm pretty sure the male is the main carer
