I came back from work the other day to find my blue gourami looking like he'd been half dipped in ink! He still eats and swims and behaves normally but I'm not sure what has caused this dramatic colour change.
I have a old blue (3 spot) gourami, I bought him full size and he's been keeping me company for several years. (Actually, I haven't sexed him, I don't know if he's male or female). He lives in a large tank with no other gouramis, just a male siamese fighter who occasionally displays but is generally very peaceful, and an eel-tailed catfish.
I went away for work for few months and in that time he became quite ulcerated and thin, but in the 3 weeks I've been back giving him TLC he's recovered (except his hair-like fin and tail are yet to repair).
I can't include a photo with this post, the low light level and unco-operative nature of my gourami mean my photos are just blurs...
