Hi
.. it has been quite some time since I last posted a Q ... I used to ask about Bettas.. but after I lost all of those I used to have I did not get any new ones .. (two years)

I have set a small aquarium .. with different fish ( thought of having something new and different) it is about Two Gallons.

I have a pair of Zebra (they are the best) a pair of Glass Fish
pair of Balloon Molly Pair of Redeyes Tetra.. two ghost shrimps ( really cute ) and one Honey/Sunraise Gourami..

My question here is about the Gouramy.. i was an active fish .. used to chase and swim around ..for two months now, but lately I noticed that it is resting on the bottom all of the time.. except feeding time.. it looks bored .. dunno !!.. all of the other fish seems to be ok but this one \water Temp is ok I guess as I have marked where it should be..

does any one by any chance have any idea of why the fish maybe acting this way ..

Hi!

I kind of can't believe what I'm reading about how many fish you have in only two gallons of water, so I wonder if there is a typo. Overcrowding will cause many problems - and even worse when they get bigger - which won't take long.

Maybe bored - but more likely sick or harrassed by other fish. Either way, separating him out into his own tank for now would be good advice so you can give him a good water change, his own space, and try some mild curative action like a salt bath before you try any harsh medicines.
