Bloated Dwarf Gourami, Not Eating.

[megan maresca]

noticed about 3 days ago, so I cleaned out the tank, also tried to give peas, but he's not wanting to eat. I feel bad for the poor guy.

Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.
What do you feed the fish.
Are scales sticking out.
What does it look like when he goes to the toilet.

place fish in bucket with old water while i rinsed out the tank and flushed rocks. filled tank will tap water about the same water temp. it was and used aquasafe, waited about 2hrs, then placed fish back in tank. The same as I always do it. The fish was bloated before I did it. He passed away today. Thanks for you help!

Sigh r e s e a r c h fish like kg's are way to big to be kept in a 10g let alone with other fish
