My question is about honey sunset gouramis?

9 June 2009 Comments

I got one honey sunset gourami for my 30 gallon tank. At fist it seemed to be doing fine. I was planning to get another one when I got paid. She started acting strange and wouldn’t eat the flake food and just sitting in the corner not even swimming around. I thought maybe they needed fish of their own kind because when she would move around she would follow the silver hatchets around. I left to go get another gourami. As soon as I returned with her friend she was dying. I had two new fish so I wasn’t sure what to do. If she has some sort of disease there was nothing I could do because I had two new fish in bags. I put them in the tank. I tested the water and everything is normal. There doesn’t appear to be any disease on any of the fish including the one that died. Also, I said she wasn’t eating but it hadn’t been enough time for her to have starved. Why would she die?

and the snail I have in my tank began to feed on her. Now the snail seems sick and has some white stuff all over it. I also added aquarium salt when I did a water change right after the fish died. Could the snail be sick from the salt?

Anyway the new Gourami is just sitting around now not doing much. She ate yesterday but I haven’t tried today. They seem very stubborn about eating. Any tips?
The other fish in the tank are doing fine by the way.
