I have a dwarf gourami who has had a bulge on his side. Not sure why. Can anyone think what it could be? All my other fish In the tank are fine. It's a 40gl tank. I am super worried about him! I feed every other day, when I was a beginner a year ago I was over feeding but now make sure to never do. Thanks!

I used to get the same thing on my dwarf. He would constantly bloat. I think they are genetically messed up. Fast him for 4-5 days. It used to work for me.
 
Something you can try for bloat is giving your Gourami a defrosted pea. Remove the skin and give him a little piece.
