i hav wo little kissing gouramis on of which looks on its way out. the water is fine (tested this morning) but the fish is diffently not itself. it has no obviuos signs of disease but just lays on the bottom or floats and the others seem to know its going and are pecking at it, any suggestions?
 
That is a VERY obvious singn of a swim bladder infection. You need to seperate the fish, give it one grain of aquarium salt per tank gallon, up the tank temp. two degrees, and give the fish mashed peas. NO FLOATING FOOD because that'll make it a lot worse. Swim bladder is serious so you may want to start treatment ASAP.
