worried about my dwarf gourmais

[Tednol]

hey,
i have a 15g set up,
including
2 otos
2 female and 1 male dwarf neon gouramis
1 female and 1 male red dwarf gourmis
2 corys

and the two males are not eating, one just stays at the bottom and when he gopes to the top i rush to put food in for him to eat but he goes away and the other one is staying near the filter. Not eating either

I had a couple of Platies that did that and I found out that they just had a stomach ack or something of the sort (constipation maybe) Your fish will be fine

(not that i actually gave u a resonable answer )

Hey.

Don't worry!!!! It happens with gouramis. I had mine and it took them 2 weeks to start eating properly. They are very shy and sensitive to new surroundings. After a while they will start to take a little food and when they are fully comfortable with the tank they will eat like a horse.

Your best bet is to try and disturb them as little as possible, so keeping stress to a minimum and then let their stomachs do the rest. Once they get hungry they will start to eat.


Hope this gives you some help.

Let us know hpw they get along
