Yesterday morning I noticed my dwarf gourami sort of suspended looking up (just not looking "right", so I watched for a bit then it was just laying on its side, still breathing, throughout the day, I checked and it moved but still laying on its side. I know its dying but not sure why. This am its still laying there on its side, still breathing. My question is should I just take it out cause I feel like its suffering or should I just let nature take its course. Also, this am I noticed a glob of white stuff on the gravel stuck to the glass, not sure what the heck it is, I'm fairly new at this <1 yr, could it be eggs? I have 2 dwarf gouramis, 3 honey gouramis, 4 bloodfin tetras, 3 painted tetras and a bottom feeder (can't remember what its called). Any thoughts on either thing?

hi

this happened to my female dwarf about 2 months ago she was like that for 4 days. She stopped eatting after 2 i tryed to help her to eat but she dies for no reason wat so ever. Hve a look at the link i posted and see if wat i have put fits your gourami and see if what people have put helps u. http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/threads/32075.1.htm?2#

hope this might help.

thanks, it died last night now my other one is acting strange - maybe its depressed that its buddy is gone. That's my first fish to die since I started this hobby last June so I guess I shouldn't be too sad. Hopefully my other one doesn't die too.

this may sound silly but i have found that with my dwarf if he gets ill i go and buy him live (or frozzen) blood worms and he seems to perk up in about a week. What are u feeding them
