Should I risk dwarf gourami

I have been looking into stocking my 180L. I really would like a set of 3 dwarf gourami but I read about the dgiv virus. Does anyone know if the virus is passed through to the eggs or via water column to the fry.
If its to the fry there is a possibility uk bred fry might be virus free.
Does anyone have a dwarf gourami that is virus free. Or know any UK breaders.

I think @Sue or @Hampalong are probably best placed to advise here...

It's the gouramis bred in farms in the far east which are infected with the virus, and often fish TB as well. Home bred gouramis are usually disease free. The difficulty is finding home bred gouramis, I don't know of anyone who breeds them. Are there any fish clubs near where you live? Members of those often breed fish at home and there might be a member who breeds dwarf gouramis.

Ty so much for your reply.  I can't find any fish clubs. But will try again.  It is such a shame about how people breed to such an extent to put the fish in danger.
