I have had a male (i'm assuming) blue gourami for several years now... he has been alone, and so i recently bought 2 females to go along with him...(ya know, he could be lonely!) Anyway, for a few days after i put them in he chased them around the tank, he didn't seem to be hurting either of them, so i let them be... well yesterday i noticed he began to turn colors.... he was always a very pale blue gourami (more whiteish actually) -- and he began to get darkened stripes, and a bit more blue to his pigment... i automatically assumed it was breeding time and he was changing colors for it... but today i noticed the females have been beating up on him and he has spots on him where i can tell they have nipped him good. He can't swim well now since they seem to have torn his fin.... could it be i have a female? Also, what type of medicines do i need to purchase to dress his wounds? And, do i put him back in the tank after he has healed? Any advice is Definetly welcome!!!
