Need Some Help

[puppyjess123]

Well, I was just wondering if its normal that my plants are sort of curling. Its an amazon sword. I only got it yesterday.

Also have I planted them right?

And finally, this gold gourami is not looking good, he stays at the bottom hiding because the pearl gourami keeps chasing it around. Also his back end is sort of curved down. I lost his friend a few days ago as well Heres a picture, sorry its not very clear.

Anyone?

You have to give people time to respond, bumping your own thread after 30 mins makes you seem very impatient and not likely to take advice. The plant looks fine to me. What are your water stat's concerning the gourami?

 

[puppyjess123]

Oooh, sorry i am REALLY impatient.

And ammonia: 0 nitrite: 0 nitrate: 10 pH is 7.6

Lucy the plant looks fine, amazon sword to get big, mine grew up out of the tank and burnt its leaf on the light bulb in the hood and my tanks 24" deep, you need to research your plants as much as the fish you buy. The tanks stats look good too, i wish my nitrates were 10 lol, ive 20 in my tapwater so not much chance of that. As for the gourami i can only suggest the fish is stressed out by the other gourami if it keeps getting chased, you could try removing the chaser, put him in a bucket of tank water for a few hours, he will be fine, and see if the other one picks up a little, you could also try leaving the lights off more as that relaxes them a little. Have you got any stress coat, that may help but bullying is bullying its hardly going to stop unless you remove the bully. di

Hmm yeah. I thought the pearls were meant to be peaceful ones?

I do have some stress coat and i'll turn the lights out. Thanks for the advice!
