Sounds like dropsy, or Dwarf gouramy disease. Dropsy is just a bacterial infection that effect the cellular water content. so swell up, and stops the cell/organs functioning. Usually coinsides with stress. And dwarf gourami disease is just a genetic disease that is terrible withing the breed of fish. I lost one through dropsey the other week, and think a female may have it its very hard to cure, but people recomened trying salted water in a quarantine tank.
