Hi everyone,
I have two honey gouramis, 5 rasboros and 2 clown loaches in a ten gallon tank. They are all pretty young and small at the moment.
They've been in there for a few months and all seemed great.
First one of the gouramis went from a whitish color to something resembling a reddish hue with a dark black area running from it's mouth all along the underside of it's body. It started hiding in the corner and now has made a bubble nest. I'm assuming the drastic color change is to do with the next etc.
The problem... 3 of the rasboras are dead. The two remaining rasboras are sticking very close to the bottom of the tank. Unusual for them. The second gourami looks great.
Ammonia is zero, nitrites are zero and nitrate is less than 50.
Would you think the nesting gourami has killed the rasboros?
