hello
i have not been online for a while due to busyness!
hope everyone is okay
just need a little help if you can give any
my blue gourami who i had since the start of my tank (over a year now) is swimming funny
i thought it could be swim bladder disease but i have read up on that and it says they swim on the side
he is not doing that he is like swimming up like his back tail is to heavy for him? so he looks like he struggles to swim so he rests on the bottom
i got all my water tested yesterday just to see if everything is okay and it is, i didn't get the exact numbers of it but the ammonia was yellow (which i believe to be zero) nitrite was blue (which again is zero) my nitrate was light orange which my lfs said was quite normal and i should worry if it was red red which is was not.(testing was done by liquid testing kit)
so does anybody have any ideas?
cheers for reading
oh yeah he is still eating fine, all behaviour is fine apart from the swimming and the laying down more at the bottom (which i explain why i thought he was doing that)???
*** oh yeah the ph is 6.6 ***
*** i do my water changes every week 25% ***
Somebody help please?
