I have 3 dwarf gourami in my 55 gal community tank, 2 flames & 1 powder blue. One of the flames, always the runt of the group, has recently started looking really pale & bleached-out, like he'd been left out in the sun too long (like a stuffed-animal). He still seems to be eating well, getting 2 or 3 sinking pellets, but sometimes spitting out food if he eats more than that. He's also been a bit less active - he's always gotten most of the abuse but now he's no longer pestering the others. Other gourami don't seem any more aggressive than before. The only recent change to the tank is the addition of some plant food sticks in the substrate.
Here are the water parameters:
ammonia = 0
nitrite = 0
nitrate = 15
pH = 7.2
temp = 79-80
Anybody know what could be wrong with the little guy or what I need to do?
Thanks!
