Hey guys!
I've had a few bettas before and decided I wanted to venture into some other fishies. I went to Wal-mart (I know, I know) and randomly picked out a Pink Kissing Fish and a Blue Gourami. I have about a 2gall tank (which I have since learned is way too small for the kissing fish) and I kept the overhead light on almost all the time, turning it off during the day from time to time. I fed them tropical flakes and they defiantly seemed to be eating them. The Blue Gourami was doing great, swimming all over the place and eagerly eating his food. But when I woke up this morning, after having them for about 5 days, lo and behold the Blue Gourami was floating at the top. The Kissing Fish is doing fine so far, but I can't figure out what happened to the Blue Gourami?! Can anyone help so I can avoid this in the future??
Thanks!
