Fish just lying there (not dead though)

hvc801 · 03-26-2008, 08:49 PM

One of my gourami's has just been chillin' in the back of the fish tank behind a dead coral rock I have. He does come up to eat when I feed though. There are a couple red spots on a couple of my fish, and the fish that is just chillin' in the back has maybe one little red spot and big fat lips. Whats wrong with this guy, becuase I can't seem to understand him.

I wish you had another tank to see how he'd act in it. I'd guess he isn't getting along with the other gourami. I took the dead coral out of my tank because one of my fish scraped his side open on it and it got infected. That stuff is pretty, but sharp.

well when i first put them in they all got along very well. Another thing is that the other identical gourami kind of stays with it, it does not want to leave it be, like it knows its sick and wants to nurture it. It stays by its side. Aw so cute lol. But I dont know what the problem is.
