First enjoying reading all y'alls post... And vast knowledge and help.
This morning we noticed that our remmaining peacock Cichlid was not only allowing, but encouraging a Pleco to groom it. )The 40g Cichlid tank has just gone thru a emergency treatment cycle.) I don't think I've seen this before just currious if anyone else has seen it? And or why the fish intentionally swam over to the Pleco to do this? And just as abruptly had enough.
And to add as a side note to alot of personal frustration in dealing with Dwarf Gourami's more reminders and advice about DFG (dwarf gourami disease) would be beneficial. It just seems a tad sad to me that such a high percent are going to die, but they are still bought and sold.
Thnx
Doc
 
Welcome to AA Doc!
I have not seen what you described about your peacock, but I do agree with gouramies getting sick, when I own 2, they became sick and both died, all the rest of my fish are still with me.

I read several threads of sick gouramies, and I don't know why.
