sorry to hear about your gourami. did you test your water parameters? do you have any other fish in your tank? before you get another fish make sure your water is good.

No I haven't tested so I'm gonna have the store test a sample of my water. & yes 2 mollies,3 plates, 2 adf. But they are all fine.

How long has the tank been set up? And is it cycled? If you have the lfs test your water, ask for the exact parameters and see if they're using a liquid test or strips. Strips are crap imho.

Well that's your problem. Your fish are probably dying from ammonia/nitrite poisoning. I'll go get the link for the article about cycling, hold on

Okay thank you

No problem. I would do a large water change asap. How often are you doing pwcs? (partial water changes) and make sure that when you do, you're using dechlorinated temp matched water.

I just did bout 50% water change & I did check the temp & they matched

Are you also using a dechlorinator? Prime is what most people here prefer.
