My Pearl gourami is sitting at the bottom of the tank?

I concur. She looks very malnourished and weak. That’s why she is resting so much, because she’s trying to conserve her energy.

I’m sorry for your loss...

I recommend removing her body from the tank ASAP, so whatever worms/disease she had on/in her body isn’t transferred to your other fish.

Keep a close eye on the other fish, and post again if they start showing similar signs.

If it was worm infestation is there a cure for it and what signs would or could be seen? Never heard of this in a tank fish only wild natural fish
