Moonlight Gouramis

[LongS]

My girlfriend has just bought one moonlight and one Indian (banded) gourami. They Indian seems to be very healthy but the moonlight seems to have trouble getting to the bottom of the tank. When it tries to swim down to the bottom it swims in a kind of juddering motion like it has floats attatched to it.

He also looks a little bit bloated.

I noticed in the shop before buying and told the lad not to give me that one but i think he picked it up when i wasn't looking.

Is this normal?

No my moonlight gourami swims normally and spends a lot of time near the bottom. Maybe yours has swim bladder problem?

I'd take it straight back to the shop for an exchange!
