jim r Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 It could be tapeworm (parasite) if it is( and this is very uncommon ) Anthelmintic drugs are used according to my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Is it a female, is it the only gourami in the tank. Could it be egging up. I don't know a lot about gourami but my female fighters egg up regularly in case they meet a male. Drop the eggs eventually if they don't spawn.

Loopy Posted May 26, 2007 Report Share Posted May 26, 2007 Does he still eat well? How is he swimming? Normally or not? Does his body look distorted? or like he has just gotten really fat? Any other symptoms? I think either worms or perhapes a tumour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
