A couple of days ago I purchased a dwarf gourami, at first he seemed to be settling in quite well, nibbling at plants and generally looking relaxed. Today however he's not touched food (plant or pellet) and seems to be swimming in circles around the tank at high speed.
The other fish (five tetras) are still quite happy, just shoaling and floating, but something seems to have the gourami agitated. Any ideas? I've checked the water quality and everything checks out, the water hardness was a little high, but there's more than enough room for him (35L) and yet he seems to want out.
This isn't an emergency as such, it's just very odd especially considering that on the first 48 hours of his time in the tank he seemed quite merry. Any thoughts?
