	2 gold gouramis acting weird
agent_alice Hobbyist Posts: 114 Kudos: 115 Votes: 0 Registered: 11-Jul-2004	when i first got them, one of the gold gouramis would chase the other one around as well as the other gouramis. Now all they seem to do (when they aren't eating) is lie down in their hiding places. The one that used to chase the other one, is almost always in the decorative skull. The other one is right by it in the corner of the tank. They come up sometimes to get more air, and now they can lie together and not chase each other. What are they doing? The head gourami seems to be the blue gourami now, but it's not causing too much trouble.
