I'll have to keep that in mind regarding the killis. I really like the looks of them....just got a little scared off by the carnivore title. We're down to three gouramis now, but the three are looking a little better. Fingers crossed.

I think it's pretty safe to say it's a disease. I've QT two of them and are treating them separatly but I think I'm going to lose them (one is working on an absess on it's head a lot like the one on the very first gourami that died). I lost the moping one and one before it (about two weeks...

I had read that they were not the hardiest of fish but I was under the impression that they would likely do well in very clean water....which I think I have provided. I had not heard about the "probablity" of bringing home a viral infection. Thank you for the links, they were very informative...

Hello, We have a flame dwarf gouriami that seems to be "moping". My wife fed the fish this morning and saw that the flame was staying still at the bottom of the tank in the corner. We try to error on the side of under-feeding rather than over and always get a strong response to food whenever...

Thank you Ok thank you for the advice...I just didn't want to be mean to the little fishies. Thanks again.

I have a 46G planted tank that I've been running through a fishless cycle and am ready to add some fish (finally!). When I first got the idea to do the tank, I tested the PH of my tapwater and was ecstatic when the test came back a near-neutral 7.2. I didn't test for PH as I ran through the...
