Ill Gourami?

[SamLovesCorys]

I have a Gourami which has been fairly inactive for some time, and I woke up this morning to find it lying on its side on the bottom. It has since moved, but not much, always returning to the bottom quickly. It has a swollen, tube-like lump running horizontal along it's rear. Is it ill? What's wrong with it? Swimbladder? Something else? Help!

Thanks, Sam

PS. All water stats are fine.

Honestly, i think its constipated.

Sorry, didn't realise you'd replied to both...

A pic of the fish will help get more answers.

Solved it in gouramis and anabantids.
