shaz Hobbyist Posts: 57 Kudos: 48 Votes: 1 Registered: 31-Jul-2004	I have a lil fishie that hasnt been doing too good for the last few weeks. He is a dwarf gourami. More recentyle (past week) he has been staying in 1 spot behing a rock... usually on his side ) today he is BARELY moving his gills and the fish are nibbling at him. Should i remove him and end his misery? If so how do you suggest I put him to rest... ?

Eventually he stopped commni out for feadings I hope theres no parasites... i havnt noticed anything visible on him..
