	Gourami Fish Dying Off
TroyB Small Fry Posts: 2 Kudos: 3 Votes: 0 Registered: 13-Jul-2005	I have a 29 gallon established tank with good water quality; (I test often) I have 6 giant danios, 2 balloon mollies & 1 gourami left. My black molly died recently too; He was fine until one day, I found him dead. My 3 dead gouramis were sluggish & looked bloated while still alive. The danos tend to be hyper, eating as much as they can get. Could the gourami's not be getting enough to eat? They stay in the middle to botton of the tank. Thanks for any advice. Troy

They normally last a few weeks and then once they get the bloated look they are dead within 2days. I don't try to keep them any more as much as I would like to...
