Help!
I noticed that my dwarf gourami had been spending a lot more time than usual hiding amongst the plants. I thought it might be a water quality issue, because i know these fish can be sensitive and I missed my last weekly water change. However, I got a good look at him as I was changing the water just now, and he has some type of wound on his body. The area around the wound is swollen, so I'm not sure if it is cause by something internal or external. Other than hiding, he does not seem to be swimming irregularly and he is still eating.
What should i do? buy some melafix??
