Hello,
I have had this one kissing gourami for about 2.5 years. From being in such a small tank, he has matured to around 5". Last week, he started sitting on the bottom of the tank and would come up for food when I fed, but would immediately return to his corner spot in the 10 gal tank. I asked the local pet shop owner and he said that from him being in such a small tank, he could have Nitrate Poisoning. So I treated, but no changes in behavior.
I just went out yesterday and spent a little over $600 on a new 55 gal tank, filter, heater, etc and transferred him in. Today, he is laying on his side at the bottom of the tank and only comes up for a breath of air every once in a while. I was surfing around the net and found that he may need Maracyn-Two for internal bacteria. Is this his problem and solution? Please let me know!
Thanks
