Hi everyone, hopefully you can help my dwarf gourami!
Last night I found him laying on his side on a branch of my wood. He was breathing fairly heavily but not excessively. He seemed ok the day before. I caught him and put him in a hospital tank to keep an eye on him.
He seems very lethargic, off his food, is just propping himself up against the side of the tank at the bottom and generally looking very sorry for himself! Colour wise he seems normal, his fins aren't clamped at all. No signs of ich and isn't bloated.
All the other fish in the main tank seem to be fine at the moment.
Tank specs etc
125l kept at 24 to 26 deg, has been set up for around 5 months with no recent additions or changes.
I don't normally test but in this case;
Ammonia = 0
Nitrite = 0
Nitrate = around 30ppm ish
Kh and gh are fairly high, couldn't say exactly but that is normal for my tap water.
I'm not sure if he'll still be going by the time I get home from work but do you have any suggestions what he may have or if I should buy anything to treat him with.
I hate to see them suffering
Thanks in advance.
Adam.
