I have one dwarf gourami in my 20 gallon tropical community tank along with 11 other fish. It is a non-planted tank, and I keep the temperature at about 77* F. I do regular water changes, and feed them twice a day.
I have noticed for a while now, that my gourami hasn't been eating very much, if at all. Every time, I feed my fish it just swims around in the same place, and may occasionally take a bit of food in its mouth and then spit it out. This has been going on for a while, so he must be eating something because he is still alive. However, a few days ago I noticed that he is a bit off-color and is swimming strangely. Sometimes he just floats a little sideways at the top, and sometimes he swims normally in the middle. All of my other fish seem just fine, so I doubt it is poor water quality that is affecting it. His poop is clear and stringy as well, not like the brown of my other fish. Any ideas?
