What are your water paremeters? Goramies are soft-water fishes, that is, they developed in still, swampy waters that are acidic and soft. Thus, they breed best in tanks with a slightly acid pH, between 6.5 to 6.8 and a general hardness around five. Temp should be 80 degrees.
If you drop in a live floating plant like water sprite the males build their bubble nests under them.

LiveAquaria:

"The Neon Blue Dwarf Gourami is a bubble nest builder that uses plants to help bind together the bubbles. Besides the difference in color, the sex can be determined by the dorsal fin. The male's dorsal fin is pointed, the female's is rounded. The water level should be reduced to 8 inches during spawning, and the temperature should be approximately 82°F. After spawning the female should be moved to a different tank. The male will tend to the eggs and fry, and when the fry are 2-3 days old the male should also be removed. When first hatched, the fry should be fed infusoria, and later, brine shrimp and finely ground flakes. Freeze-dried tablets may also be fed to older fry. "
