Hi, I have just bought a dwarf gourami. I believe that dwarf gouramis swim at the top of the tank, but mine doesn't. Also, the tail looks like it's missing a slither from thetop as it is not fan like. he seems a little unsteady but I am not too sure if it is natural or not. Please help.
 
If you just put him in I wouldn't worry about it. You can leave the lights off for a few days to help him adjust.
And if the tail is a little damaged he'll be okay. From what I've seen fish are very fast healers
 
As long as your parameters are perfect ammo 0 and nitrite 0 his fins will heal in no time :)
 
Well the ammo was at about 0.20 ppm last water change but I just recently bought ammo lock.

Just keep up with frequent water changes and try and keep the ammo at 0 :)) let us know if he gets better
 
I woke up this morning and he was sitting at the bottom of the tank. He hugs up next to a few rocks and once even got stuck. He is just sitting on the ground and isn't moving.
