Hello!
I have a dwarf gourami that is acting quite strange. It is in a 25gal tank with two mollies and one other dwarf gourami.
The gourami is laying on its side on the ground and against things. It does shoot up to the top but then floats back down. It doesn’t swim upright really. And it’s definitely discolored from when we got it. It’s head is darker in color and it’s not as vibrant. And we haven’t seen it eat or poop. We tried putting peas in the tank but it hasn’t been interested
We just tested everything, pH is 8.2 but all other levels were normal. We added salt 4 days ago to treat ich. And our salt dose is about one tsp per gal. Temperature is at 84 also to treat for ich. Looks like the ich has cleared up but we were told to keep the tank at this temp and with salt for a bit to make sure.
Its also worth mentioning that we discovered two Molly frys in the tank. We think the other fish are the rest of them. We didn’t realize our Molly was pregnant.
Does anyone of any idea of what is happening to our gourami? Or how to help it?
