	Golden Gourami Bloody fins
Cowch Fingerling Posts: 41 Kudos: 29 Votes: 0 Registered: 10-Sep-2005	My Golden Gourami has blood spots showing in his fins. His tail has a line that extents into his body. They are on all his fins though. I'll get some parameters up in a minute. He has been netted twice recently. Once to put him in a new twenty gallon, and then to put him back in the 10 when the 20 leaked.

By that I mean adjusting the water before it is added to the tank. What else is in the tank substrate, rocks, fish, and plants. In the mean time I would be treating the Gourami with both Primafix and Melafix. Also increase the water movement using an extra air stone. *Have a look in [link=My Profile] http://www.fishprofiles.com/forums/member.aspx?id=1935[/link] for my tank info* Look here for my Betta 11Gal Desktop & Placidity 5ft Community Tank Photos Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

I know it is super important but I forget, which is odd because I take really good care of my fish otherwise. I have aquarium gravel, one rock/ornament and a fake plant. I used to have another ornament in there but I took it out to seed another aquarium. I really want to get him back into the twenty which had all kinds of great plants and ornaments for him to explore but I need to reseal it.
