I have a dwarf fire gourami in a 29G tank that is fairly bloated in the immediate stomach area - not all over his body. His scales aren't sticking out, and he's been hiding a bit, though is still fairly social. I just noticed that he's flashing a fair bit. He doesn't eat like a dwarf gourami should, so I'm pretty sure there is something going on. One of his gills has been pink/reddish for about 2 months now.
He's been lethargic and not real interested in eating for several months. He does eat, mostly scavanging off the bottom from time to time.
The stats are 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, 10 nitrate - I've been doing twice weekly water changes. He and some of the other inhabitants were exhibiting symptoms of internal parasites early last week - stringy white poop, and I treated the tank with jungle's parasite clear. All of the other fish seem to be fine now.
The tank mates are 3 honey gouramis, 3 angels (.75" each currently), 4 platies and another dwarf gourami, who I think brought in the parasites.
Any idea what is wrong with him?
