Last week I noticed that one of my Flame Dwarf Gouramis was looking pretty sick. His eye seemed to be a little puffy (possibly the beginning of pop eye) and his fins were ragged. His coloring was also off. I don't have a hospital tank at work so I decided to treat the whole tank (also to try to prevent the other fish from getting whatever it is) with a mixture of Melafix and Pimafix, but unfortunately it wasn't enough. This morning I ended up euthanizing him as he just couldn't go on in his condition. I'm very saddened to lose this fish as he's one of the fish that I had since I set up this tank (I didn't really know much about fishless cycling at the time) and he made it through quite a bit (the initial cycle, Ich, water quality issues), but this last battle was just to much for him.
