blue gourami's color change ?

[Joeybsmooth]

I don't know how to explain so sorry if I come off sounding odd. However the other say by Blue Gourami colors changed in a odd way, it was like he was shiny and almost fluorescent in color. And just as fish today he is back to normal. Is that something that happens or was that just my eyes playing tricks on me.

Sounds lie a dominance issue. Either another gourami, a fish he thinks is another gourami or his reflection.

There is a another gourami in there...

While since he is doing it for dominance I would guess it would be stressful, however just the colors were just so bright. He looked like one of those electric blue fish.

All of the Three Spot Gourami color morphs (Blue, Opaline, Platinum, Lavender, Gold, etc) tend to change colors during the course of a normal day depending on mood, hormones, hunger, whatever. It's totally normal and is part of how they communicate I wouldn't worry unless it looks like someone's harassing him.
