Shakaya Posted April 2, 2005 Report Share Posted April 2, 2005 Mum and I are just new to tropical fish. Mum has 2 Honey Gouramis and 2 Colbolt Darwf Gouramis. One of the Colbolt Gouramis hides all day and doesn't even come out at feeding time. We thought it might have been getting picked on by the two honey gouramis who are always fighting with each other. So we decided to shift the two colbots to my place. But as soon as we put the two colbolts in my two Pearl gouramis started chasing and bitting them so we decided they were better off in the original tank. Does anyone have any more sugguestions. Should we try putting the Honey and the Pearl Gouramis togther to give the Colbolts a break? We are scared the one of the colbolts is just getting sicker and sicker. Its fins are closed up to its body and it tail just drags down behind it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelley Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Of all my fish i have found gouramis to be the most shy and in hiding for a week or more. Perhaps they are still adjusting to the new tank and feeling pretty vulnerable as well as shy? My siamese fighter was also extremely shy and the other fish seemed to sense it and pick on him he is now over his sulk mode and gives as good as he gets. I hope yours improve I have found the honey gouramis to have the sweetest nature so I hope yours settle and become great tank mates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
