Hello I have been observing my gourami for about a week as it started flicking on glass, and rubbing on plants leaves. Ther is no white spots to be seen or lice or worms attached so ive not treated just been doing water changes every 2 days with good gravel vac.

Now its always been a little fat! as it loves to eat everything. but this morning 1 side looks extra bloated and its sort of swimming unbalanced. It has had some longy stringy poo recently but as i feed alot of cucumber which it eats i thought it could be this.

Ammonia 0, Nitite 0, and Nitrate 40 has been 50 but has gone down with the water changes.

What should be my course of action. Hospital Tank? Espom salt in the water. Or use a worm treatment or anti bacterial.

Should i feed it some peas and see how it gets on.
