Male Dwarf Gourami

[Onos]

I just bout 3 dwarf gouramis 1 male and 2 females, the females are doing fine in my tank but the male seems to be just floating at the top of the tank not really doing anything I haven't seen him eat, his colours look healthy except his front fins are black and he doesn't ever move them, every once and awhile he ends up rolling onto his side a little and rights himself.

Hi

I don't know a lot about it but maybe he has Swimbladder? You should look up the symptoms, you can get medicine for it if he has.

How are your water stats (Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrates)?

if you have literally just added him to the tank give him a day or two to settle. My DG behaved very oddly for the first week before he decided that he would be the boss of the tank.

Thanks for getting back to me I am not sure of the water stats in the tank as this is my first fish tank, and one of the guys I work with suggested what fish I should get in my 20 gallon tank, he knows pretty much everything there is to know about this stuff but hasn't been at work all week so I haven't been able to ask him.
