I have had my 1st tank for a couple of months. To start with (after cycling) I had 4 corydoras, and they are still doing well. About a month ago, I got 2 red robin gouramis. Then 2 weeks ago, I bought 2 blue dwarf gouramis and some neon tetras. Within 1 day, both blue dwarf gouramis died. I bought 1 other blue dwarf gourami. Within a week, it developed fungus and died the day after I noticed it.
Now, one of my red robin gouramis appears very ill. His colouring appears very dull and he can hardly swim. I think he doesn't have long to live. My 2nd red robin gourami is getting quite big and very active, eating well. However, over the past couple of days he has occasionally rubbed his body against plants and ornaments. I cannot see any unusual spots or colouring on his body.
I regularly test the water: nitrite, nitrate and ammonia levels are zero. pH is a steady 7.4. Temperature is 24.5C. Partial water changes are done weekly.
I have just purchased a quarantine tank online and am waiting for this to be delivered, so unfortunately, I didn't have one for the gouramis that I have had so far.
Why is it that I am getting all these problems with my gouramis? Is there a pattern that you can see based on the above info that could be causing this? The only obvious problem I found was the fungus on one gourami, but I didn't notice this with the others. The corydoras and tetras are doing well with no obvious problems.
