Dwarf Gourami Disease

[Ruskull]

I've had the same problems with DGD - lost some beautiful ones so I'm giving them a wide berth at the moment. I don't think the disease poses any threat to your other fish.

No, I believe it is dwarf specific, however don't know when to introduce them again - however to be honest, I probably won't want to in the foreseeable future anyway.

You may want to give Honey Gouramis a try instead. I believe they aren't affected by DGD and they grow almost as big, almost as colorful & they have great personalties too. If you're in England you can probably get some of those really colorful ones. Here in the USA I've only seen the less colorful light orange or light yellow ones. I've always wanted one of those males that look like this:

Thanks. That is a fabulous colour. I can't say I've seen any like that here. I'll ask about them.
