Hi, i had 2 opaline gourami in my 10 gallon tank, male and female. Early in this morning at 5am, I witnessed they swim casually. When i looked closely, the female was almost dying and the male swim strangely and kinda inbalance . I also noticed their fins were nipped badly espicially the female one and her long string-like fin attached under her gill were missing somehow like after being cut. Female died sooner but the male stay alive but looked sick. I seperated the male from the main tank after that to look if it get better. As long as I concerned, my gourami always had an issue before. The male like to tease the female (probably cuz of his territorial behavior) but the female never fight back. It's just a week ago the male just stopped doing so and they go along just fine.. But suddenly this happened. Please consider there is also 2 tinfoil barb and 1 rainbow shark.
