I started my fish tank about 6 months ago. I have had fish previously in the tank and they were diagnosed with dropsy. Since then I have deep cleaned the tank and put a new filter cartridge and bio media. About 5 months ago I purchased 2 platys 2 mollies and 2 gouramis. One of the mollies got stuck in the filter about a month after. I turned down the filter speed and everything was going okay for about 2 months. Then, one of my dwarf gouramis started looked really bad and his "sickness" escalated drasticly. For the first day he was okay, but the next he was on the floor of the tank not moving almost at all. I also noticed a discoloration on the top of him. He was beginning to become brown instead of the beautiful blue and red he used to be. The next day he sadly passed away. Me, being scared it would happen again. Cleaned out my tank and researched as much as I could with no luck into what might have caused my gourami such trouble. After that incident everything was going okay for another month. This morning I woke up and saw that my other gourami was having the same symptoms. If anyone knows what it was and how to treat it please tell me, so I can hopefully save my last gourami and if will spread to the rest of my fish. This is all in 20 gallon. Thanks.
