Hello Fish friends ☺️ I hope that you and your pet fish are well. One of my gouramis has recently developed what looks like a sore/rot around her mouth and she’s not been keen to eat.. She spent a day hiding at the bottom /back of the tank .. I did a water check /change last night and added...

Thank you Colin. Alas, Tiny took her last breath this evening so I’ve taken her out of the tank. Unfortunately, I’ve struggled to find any vets near me that would look at pet fish, hence the reason. I’ve been online looking for support. I’m gutted that the assistant at the pet store had...
