Ok so long story short.
Bought a 450l tank to rehouse my angels but it came with above fish and didn't have the heart to dispose of them so been trying to rehome them. All the other fish seem in good health although kissing gourami are missing the fins off both sides on 1 and 1 side on the other.(suspect the oscars) So the tank was in a horrible state when i got it. water was about 65% mark and i had to clean the internal filter (with tank water) as it was so blocked with filth it wasn't running. I had to transport the fish in containers for 2 hours all told with breaking down the tank ect. So these fish have obviously suffered a great deal of stress. When introducing them to cleaner water i did it slowly due to what i expected to be massive differences in the water chemistry. So the fish seemed happy enough if somewhat overstocked. I've been doing daily water changes to try to bring down the massive nitrate levels. Normally smallish at 10-20% a day. 50% today as i got a trace reading on ammonia. So during todays water change i spotted the white mark/hole in gold gouramis head and i swear it has got larger in last couple of hours. Also i had 1 of the 3 filters fail on me so i wanted to move out some of fish. Preferably kissing gouramis to protect them from further harresment. But i can't risk spreading disease to my other fish.
Ok maybe long story long. Can't get photo to upload so will host off forum and link.
