Another gone to the fishy heaven in the sky

[MissClaire]

hello all, just curious my gourami died this morning....
I noticed last night his stomach was very prominant, skin a bit see-through and he was lathargic (resting on the driftwood)....also his condition has been deteriorating since the seprae tetras (soon taking back to lfs) have been singling him out and nibbling his tail. I dont think thats the reason why he died though....any ideas? I still have another red dwarf gourami to look after so I dont want him to go to fishy heaven! My graveyard list will be bigger then my fish list at this rate!!
As for water conditions I had them tested on the weekend (I dont have my own kit) and they seemed fine...Ph was a little high and I added PH down on saturday but a small amount.

my guess is it had to do with the tetras, nibbling doesn't seem like it would hurt him to the point of death but im sure the stress contributed. im not sure u should put tetras in with something that cant catch up and defend itself. it would be a good idea to get rid of them. im sry ur fish died, he sounded beutiful, i dont thing iv ever seen a red dwarf, iv only seen honey colors and orange
