I have previously had a dwarf neon gourami that died within a matter of weeks of brining him home. He had what appeared to be a blister on the side of his face next to the left side of his mouth which grew and grew until it interfered with his eating (at least I think it did) and he eventually died.
That was in my old tank.
I've since bought another (just after Christmas) and I've noticed today that he has a very small blister beside his mouth, it looks identical to the blister on the other Gourami's face and is in the same place. He's also started "pacing" up and down the front of the tank almost constantly again, which I'm guessing means he's stressed in some way, he did this for a couple of weeks after I bought him and then settled down and only "paced" now and again.
Does anyone know what this is and if I can treat it, I really don't want him to die
Edit - I've just read Southern Cross's post on his Gourami problem sounds much the same as mine
Why do the ulcer's kill them, what does it do to their little bodies?
Everyone else in the tank is fine, I'm so depressed that I'm going to loose another Gourami, maybe it's some sort of problem common to Australia
