Well, for my first post, I would like to address a problem I have noticed with my female dwarf gourami.
It began a few days ago I saw what appeared to be bubble like marks below her one eye, now today it's very red almost bloody looking.
She is hanging out at the bottom of the tank mostly...but then again they are very shy fish & do hide alot.
I fear that my BULLY black molly has left a nip on her face that is worsening.:(

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you, amy
 
My gouramis are all over the tank.

got any sharp objects/decor in the tank?
 
I have a fake coral, that's about all that's semi sharp-after gazing into tank for a long period, I have noticed the other female is now nipping at the injured fishes wound & the injured fishe belly looks distended now, like it's pregnant (which we know she;s not) - she is hanging near the bottom & appears ill....what do I do?
 
get her out so she can heal on her own. she cant heal if shes being eaten alive.

10g tanks are only 10 bucks, all it needs is water and a filter. nothing else.
maybe some medications but im not familiar with those chemicals.
