Shes trying to get air from the surface, but I think most of the air comes out of her gills instead of going into her labyrinth organ.

Gills appear to be a normal color, just seems like she's hewavily breathing and bubbles come out of the gills when she sucks in air =-/

Don't have a workable camera unfortunately =-/ She does seem to be eating, just not doing so well when it comes to breathing.

Today my female dwarf gourami has started leaking air from her gills. She just sits at the top of the tank and seemingly tries to breathe air but bubbles just keep comming out through her gills. m It also seems like the right gill is sticking out more than it should be, Not sure of my parqams...

I see, thanks for all the help so far! Would I be able to add a pleco to a 90 gallon if there were two oscars?

Hi there! I read online that the typical tiger oscar needs at least a 55 gallon tank, and I was wondering, if a I wanted two oscars in a tank would I need to double the size? Or would a 65 gallon tank be enough? I would be buying them as babies (2-3inches at the most) so they would have the...

Hi there. I am fairly certain I have a male dwarf gourami with internal parasites, seems a bit bloatedaweas and his feces are long white and stringy. He WAS eating, so I decided to get some medicated pellets for him. I couldnt get the pellets until about three days ago, brought them home, but...

Hi there, I have a male dwarf gourami that has white stringy feces. I did some reading and I saw those were symptoms of hole-in-the-head, but I thought that was a primarily discus parasite? Is it possible that my gourami has it?

Looks like big bertha (female loach with body rot) is on the up and up! She's moving around a lot more, and it seems like its clearing up on her back. Time for healing! Going to try melefix on friday, as that was when it says I can use the fungus eliminator again. Or can I use melefix whenever?

What is trisulfa? Is it available under a different name? I could only get my hands on some Fungus eliminator by jungle and used that last night. This morning one of the loaches was dead, but it was having other problems with staying on the bottom of the tank (kept floating up), so I dont...

Once fin rot has reached the body is it too late? I thought the fin was looking a little ragged on one of my loaches, but when I looked up fin-rot it said it was accompanied by a white fungusy thing, but apparently thats wrong, as today I looked at her and theres white stuff all around the base...

I was given this link in a forum I tried while my female was sick http://www.petfish.net/swimbladder_betta.htm I didnt really have time to try any of it, just thoguht I'd post it for you to have a look at

Hi there. I recently put a fish in QT with some (I think) large amount java moss. The fish died (I still am unsure of the cause, I believe it may have been swim bladder disease). The fish that passed had been in the community tank when it started showing symptoms, and the other fish are still...

So far so good with the other fish, all floating fine and eating like crazy. I'm going to call the LFS tommorrow and ask if their fish are still in qt. They had taken the price sticker off last time I was there, I'm assuming thats their version of quarantine. I buried the fish in the front...

She died :cry: Thanks for the help everyone, much appreciated. Fingers crossed the others don't get it now :(

I'm sorry to hear :cry:

I tried peas, even tried feeding her by putting tiny pieces on a toothpick right by her mouth (she's stopped trying to get away from my hands) and she wouldnt eat it. Someone suggested it might be swim bladder disease? They said try giving her an epson salt bath for ten minutes, one tablespoon...

Now she isnt eating :(

I saw her going to the bathroom last night, so I'm fairly sure it isnt constipation. Got my water params checked and in the main tank ammonia is zero, nitrite is zero. In the qt tank the ammonia is something like 0.5 around there, but thats because it hadnt cycled properly before I moved her...

Well I moved her, this morning she was sort of tipping over on the bottom. When I went to net her though she darted around pretty well. Now that shes alone is there a medication I should try? I wanna get her back in the community tank asap, felt REALLY bad moving her :(

Would a gravid gourami have troubles like that? I'm primarily worried about moving her if it's stress that's causing this, as I feel that would stress her out even more (not very cycled tank). I saw her go to the top to get air a couple of times, so that was good, but she just goes back down...

Hi there 1- Fish is a female dwarf gourami. When I looked last night and tonight I've noticed her sitting on the bottom of the tank on the gravel, not really moving around. When I put in food, she swims up a little to grab flakes falling to the ground, then normally floats down again...

Time to PICK ALL OF YOUR BRAINS ONCE AGAIN!!! First, is this filter too big? I'm guessing the main concern is the fry getting sucked in, in which case perhaps I could take an aquaclear filter sponge and fit one over the intake? Only the one sponge in there atm, I took out the carbon...

I was just wondering if a thoroughly cycled tank is needed for fry? I currently have riverfish and crawfish in my extra tank, probably going to free them soon, and was wondering if I should start it going now incase the gourami in my other tank spawn? Or does it matter? Also, if I do notice...

When a hybrid is made does it have health problems or something? Or is it just that people dont like hybrids being made? I'm lost lol :silly: And quite possibly a bit slow
