Well, I took the osphronemus gourami to the LFS (PetCo) to try to save it's life. It was not eating for the past 4 days, and it looked like it has cobwebs over its eyes. There was a white fungus or something over it's entire body, and it was lethargic. Although the other fish in my tank are healthy, I saw the big girl going downhill fast, so I took her to PetCo and they put her in a 50-gallon cube which looks huge compared to a 50-gallon rectangle tank (where can I get one of those awesome three-cube overflow tanks???) and she looked even worse in their bright lights and crystal clear water. She had red tint to her fins, and her fin "skin" was receding between the spines of them and looking like a fork or something. I didn't want her to die on my watch, and I got her to people who have much larger tanks than my 39-gallon tank.
Any idea what got to her? My danios are fine and never skipped a beat. Those spastic fish are still darting all over the tank. My albino frog is fine, as is my irredescent shark and glowlight tetra. In that tank so far, though, I've lost 4 clown loaches, two plecostomus' and two hatchet fish. I have the Emperor 280 filter with bio-wheel and the Penn Plax 150 filter. I am religious with my water changes, and I always make sure to add AquaSafe and aquarium salt to the 10-gallons that I replace.
