	Bruised Gourami??
SamanthaStorm Enthusiast Posts: 190 Kudos: 190 Votes: 51 Registered: 11-Nov-2004	Uhoh guys, i think my gourami showed a little too much interest in my filter, he hes what appears to be a big bruise on the top of his body and he is really lethargic. I jsut cleaned the filter out, and it is much stronger now. I moved him into a little isolation chamber because he kept getting stuck. Anything else i can do for him? Sam

An actual BRUISE though....I've never heard of that before. My only educated guess would be internal bleeding, which wouldnt be a good thing... If your filter is really that strong, I'd suggest turning down its power a bit.
