Odd Behaviour From My Male Bn

[Miss Dib Dabs]

My male bn is acting a little odd this evening. He's sucking his way up the glass on the front of the aquarium and grabbing air from the surface! I'm sure I've heard mention of this before somewhere but really want to know he's ok. The tank is my gourami tank (35g mature, heavily planted.) and runs on an external ehiem ecco and an internal at the opposite end of the tank. There's also an airstone running permanently near the back of the tank behind the plants. He has plenty of hidey holes and has been eating very well.
All the other inhabitants are fine, if slightly curious at his behaviour. The girl has already gone into the plants for the night but was fine earlier when I saw her.
Hugs,
P.

Please someone help. He's breathing rapidly this morning although the only thing that looks possible right now is a nasty tummy ache. He did rather well on plec tablets yesterday and his tum is looking rather large!

Ok, no need to panic, DON'T feed your fish- any of them for three days, then start feeding again on the fourth day.
This is probably due to too many live/frozen foods.

Ah. I did feed live brine shrimp yesterday to my gourami. So that is possible. Thank you.

No problem,
If you are a little worried about not feeding them stick a couple of pees in within the three days, remember though you are trying to starve them

Am happy yo say he's doing better today. Actually he's been very naughty! He's back in his cave now but he's moved a whole heap of substrate at the side of it into a mound! Every time Missy (The female) goes near him he chases her away. No there's no eggs or fry. His tummy is still rather round but he's going to the loo and not leaping up for air anymore.
Hugs,
