Question

I have a paradise gourami that is having trouble breathing.


Sent to Pet Experts May 04, 2006 7:08 p.m.

I have a paradise gourami that is having trouble breathing. For last three days, has been at bottom of tank, swimming minimally and has been having trouble reaching top of tank. No other fish areaffected and this is an established tank of seven months with all fih that are in there for six months. NO spots (so no ick) to frayed fins, no abrasions or other agressive fish in tank that I would think are causing stress. I read that it could be a problem with areation due to overcrowding. It's a 20 gallon tank, have 12 fish, of which are all one inch or less in lenght. Please tell me if there is anything we can do to help save this fish.

Sincerly,
