Hi everyone. I have an opaline gourami that I am concerned about. We have had this fish for about a month. We originally got 3, but the other two died (one the day after we introduced it to the tank, the other one was about a week later). Here is what the fish is doing: appears to have trouble with keeping upright, will swim a short time, then stop and almost tilts completely vertical, and sinks to bottom of tank. Lack of energy as well. No other fish in the tank are acting strange/sick. Did a 25 gallon water change 3 days ago (had been out of town for 2 weeks). We usually do a 20 gallon change once a week.

Here are our water values:
pH 7.8
ammonia 0
NO2 0
Nitrate 10

P.S. Unfortunately as I was typing this thread the fish died :( Could this just be a 'bad batch' of blue gouramies?
