tabrat Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Ok, back with the easy questions for some but I struggle, My orange gourami more rounded fin, as I read some where looks like she has like swallowed a marble, this I first noticed a couple of days ago, she has had the major runs, like the longest poo ever but clear, she has looked fine apart from those signs up into tonight. Tonight well she swimming on an angle and just found her laying on the bottom of tank on her side, now she is in weed, to me she aint looking to good at all. All tank specs are good. Any ideas.

alanmin4304 Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Dwarf gouramis are very prone to dropsy. It is caused by fluid retention from kydney failure. The scales stick out like a pine cone and they swell up. It is incurable in my experience and it is best to put it out of its misery.

randomsam1001 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Some of my friends have had this with discus. He separated it from the other fish and used an expensive chemical (sorry can't remember the name) Will email him to find out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabid Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Metronidazol - for internal parasites. Expensive and In most cases you need to actually see a vet and get a prescription. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
