Walking through a big box store when my other half spots a dwarf gourami, one thing leads to another and I wasn't aloud to leave without it. So I was a brand new owner of a (albeit good looking) dwarf gourami. I generally knew of the health issues surrounding these guys, so I put him in his own little established tank and was planning on monitoring him there for the time being. A week went by, all is well, fed him in the morning and came back to him laid out dead as can be by the afternoon.
Ammonia - 0
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 5-20
pH - 7.4
Temp - 78
Are these guys hit or miss when it comes the dwarf gourami virus? (assuming that was the cause) If one has it do the rest have it? I picked up another (this one generally looks even "healthier") via the warranty policy, I didn't really have anything to lose. I gravel vacuumed, 100% water change, cleaned filter media in old tank water (likely won't solve anything) Is he likely living a preset life too?
