Hello,
Please help, I have 3 gouramies that I think is sick and are dying. Please help me before they die.
Water is tested fine. Only issue is PH is high (8+) but they have been living in there for over a while.
Here's the story on them gouramies.
I had 1 gourami when the tank started about 4 months ago. Second gourami about 2 months ago. 3rd, and 4th gourami about 3 weeks ago. Once have since then died.
About a week ago i noticed a small bump on the biggest gourami (the last one I bought). I thought I was overfeeding it and its belly got big. I decreased the feeding. The bump got bigger. I increased the feeding, it got even bigger. One then died.
I went to different forumns and read on this bump and some have suggested that it's a diseased. Some said cancer. Some said parasites. Some said there's no cure and just flush them before others get infected.
I went to the store and gave them the picture and those #*$#&$ said they see no bump or lump. I have attached the picture for you all to see. Needless to say I bitched like hell and talked to the supervisor of the store. No use. They won't take the gourami back and pay for the others. I tried. I was so frustrated and even spent $15 on the Lifeguard all-in-one treatment that treats fungus, itches, parasites. Started first day of treatment today.
I don't know what is wrong. So much varied information and nothing points to a real answer. So I decided to register and post a thread for myself.
Here's the attachment of the gourami. Please help. I don't want the fish to die.
