Go ahead and test it. Do you have a liquid test kit? With now there being two, you'll need to make it an odd number. Females make a hierarchy, and when there's an even number, one will get bullied. I'd suggest taking them out, rearranging the tank, and putting them all in at the same time so the territory isn't owned and has an intruder.

Nitrates zero? That's unusual. Also, what fish do you have in the tank? What size tank?

Dwarf gouramis and bettas do not get along. They need to be separated before something bad happens. Did you notice anything strange on the body? I just don't wanna tell you everything seems fine if there's something possibly wrong in the tank.

It's 2 female betas and they get along with the gourami all the fish are peaceful with each other other then the platys from hell I had. Her colour has been gone do weeks now and she seemed a lol swollen compared to the other bettas but she was eating fine all my fish seem to be still normal and look fine

My money is the two stopped getting along or died of stress.

Was her scales sticking up kinda like a pinecone? I've had bettas and DGs. They may act like they get along now, but they are not compatible and will eventually show it. I've had similar events in my own tank. It's up to you ultimately.

No she didn't she was bloated but I just got the dg and from the bettas behaver I'm surprised she didn't die sooner

Bettas don't really hide like I've read online. Not even Thomas, and he got stuck in the filter intake 5 minutes after I put him in. My bloated bettas didn't even hide. She might've been bullied too much. Sounds like something got to her at least.

Sounds like she may have come weaker or sickly. I'd say get the third one but rearrange the tank and house the DG in another tank.
