The answer is you have a common dwarf gourami picture. Did you even know there's multiple variants of dwarf gouramis and with those variance you cannot tell by color markings it's only about fins. I do listen to a vice and appreciate it what is relevant to the question. Good day sir.

I am not snappy I'm just direct and will point and call out BS when I see it. I wrote a whole big introduction explaining what my issue was and who I was ie my experience level in The hobby. I asked for specific things for help and I got this whole thing about water quality aggressiveness of...

Just curious is your fish common dwarf gourami yes or no. Do you know there's four or five variants of dwarf gouramis all from the common dwarf gourami. Yes we know females are less colorful than males but in the different variants the only real way to tell male female is by the dorsal fin and...

1. Lost his powder blue color 2. Poor appetite. 3. Poor swimmer (not swim bladder disease) just a weak swimmer will get sucked into the intake valve if to close. Sorry that they got out of hand but some of your members SMH.

In the last few weeks I read a lot on DGD the information is sketchy with some inconsistencies. You shouldn't rely on other people's research when you going to State it as fact you should do your own research. I was getting frustrated and that's why I made this thread because the information on...

There is no real information out there which I stated in my opening thread. The only thing I do know once they get this death is guaranteed. How long does he have to live Clueless he's been like this for months but it's getting worse and worse. this is the second time in less than a week and a...

I do appreciate some of your suggestions but you think he can bounce back then I guess you don't really understand DGD. You claim to be an expert on dwarf gouramis telling me that both are males lol. when I already told you they built a nest together with bubbles and laid eggs and my German Rams...

I just wanted to know life expectancy so I cold setup a new tank because he will continue to get sucked into the intake tubes and if there is anything I can give him to make him suffer less other than stress coat and some salt in the isolation tank right now. Wow I don't understand why this...

No there is no bouncing back from DGD unfortunately it is a death sentence. Just like HIV was in the 80s no treatment no cure just death. I have been lucky I have never actually experienced this firsthand. This is my first experience in four decades being involved in the hobby. It sucks he never...

Yes but it's due to their weakened immune system and the disease will kill them and there is no cure for it. So yes it's a virus that would normally not kill the fish but due to genetic disorders it is now a death sentence.

Yes that's what I've been saying poor water quality can bring it out sooner but almost 25% of all dwarf gouramis will get it regardless of water parameters.

Agree to disagree. It was a male and a female they built a bubble nest together laid eggs and my Rams ate them all. you are the only one that provided me with information that I asked for about a time frame. I was thinking about setting up a secondary tank just to give him some peace because I...

Wrong it is a genetic disorder caused by breeding that their immune system is now prone to this virus. https://www.myaquariumclub.com/dwarf-gourami-iridovirus-the-killer-untamed-10513.html

So far not one person has told me anything about dwarf gourami disease that I was asking for. Most of you don't even know what dwarf gourami disease is and you're telling me to check my water parameters SMH.

Not dwarf gourami disease it is a generic disorder that affects 25% of all dwarf gouramis. So you are wrong perhaps poor water quality can bring it out quicker but if a dwarf gourami is going to get this they're going to get it even if they're swimming in God's tears it's a genetic disorder...

Stop stop I have been in the hobby for over four decades this is a genetic disorder that 25% of all dwarf gouramis get. Please stop it is not my water quality if you don't know what I'm asking please do not reply thank you.

SMH yes DGD stands for dwarf gourami disease only dwarf gouramis and I believe 3 spottedgouramis get this disease. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/fwsubwebindex/dwfgdis.htm

I have 26 other fish in the tank with no deaths both fish are thriving including 12 species of plants. My water quality and parameters are perfect. This is why I stated that I'm not a noob and it is not water quality issues or aggressive of other fish. This male powder blue gourami has not...

Then read the entire threat again and you will see. It is not my water parameter it is not of the fish being aggressive and beating them up. It is a male dwarf powder blue gourami for sure. I've had them for 5 months he lost his color he has a very poor appetite he is a poor swimmer he has DGD...

You guys are not helping at all. I wrote a specific thing on life expectancy with DGD and is there anything I can do to help the fish not suffer as much. I get you need my water parameters and are you sure it's a powder dwarf blue gourami it looks Orange WTF SMH. Yes I'm sure it's a powder blue...

Wow you people are crazy. I know why I haven't been on this website in a while. It's a powder blue gourami he has not grown since day one very poor appetite no other fish pick on him for the last 5 months. He's just getting weaker and weaker does not eat and is a poor swimmer who gets sucked up...

He's not orange he's powder blue and yes lol I bought them together as a pair male and female. He is a male powder blue dwarf gourami that I had for 5 months that is suffering from DGD. I just want to know what is the life expectancy because I cannot find it anywhere on the internet and is there...

Lol are you brain-dead. This has nothing to do with my water parameters if you read. This is definitely DGD. What I'm asking what is the life expectancy when a fish has this disease and is there anything I can do to help him thrive a little better until he dies of this disease. Really you're...

I am not a noob just need to throw that out. Please don't tell me to check my water parameters or the other fish are beating them up water parameters are perfect and no other fish really picks on him other than normal tank mate behavior. I have been in the hobby for over four decades with that...

@Byron the first baby plant is growing very nice with half a dozen pedals already roots are starting but very very small know we're next to the inch-and-a-half that you should just it. the second baby plant only has one shoot with a few more development and the third baby plant has no shoots at...

You have an advanced LED light fixture for your tank with a custom 24 hour light cycle. As long as you got the right size light you do not need additional light for your tank

You have a nice light system in the tank I don't know why you needed a second light as Byron said remove it. if you don't really have an algae problem I would just remove the plants during your next water change or substrate cleaning lightly rinse the plants in a bucket of tank water and see...

I feed my fish in sections 3 to 5 minutes all they can eat with flake and floating foods. Then I drop a sinking pellets on the left and the middle and right front of the tank after all the flake food is gone. I will rotate light and heavy days of feeding and actually will make my fish fast once...

As Viking stated 1. Too much light in your tank 2. Get some floating plants on the surface to help absorb some of the nutrients as well as blocking out some of the light. Great plants are anacharis, water spirit, water wisteria (some fish will eat these plants is it's like lettuce lol). Cabomba...

Well may dad always told me if something's not broken don't try to fix it lol. The whole point of this post was to ask why my tap water was softer than my tank water? The conclusion was it's my 20+ year-old lace rock that I had in this aquarium for 18 years. Plain and simple. The other point...

You are clearly mistaken sir. I have been nothing but polite and a gentleman with mostly everyone on those forum except for you and one other person from a previous post. I thank people when they give me feed back or information when I ask. You do give personal opinion sir and the science is...

@Byron I find you very condescending arrogant with an elitist attitude. You already was one of the reasons one of my post got closed. Yes it was already established that my 20+ year old lace Rock that I have in my aquarium is most likely the reason that my aquarium water tests higher than my tap...
