Moping Dwarf Gourami

My red dwarf gourami will now and then kind of mope...lately he is hanging out in one corner...not having breathing problems apparently but just sitting there staring endlessly. Is this a sign of something or do they just sometimes do that?

Re: Moping Dwarf Gourami

Do u have any females for him??
I think that they should be kept in pairs of one male and one female rly.. however i have found this quite problematic. I bought my pair about 10months ago and within a few days my female was so stressed out from all the attention she was recieving from the male she died. I tried again and once again like clockwork: the new one died after a few weeks. I spoke to my LFS and they have given me 3 females now as my male was soooo depressed without them he did nothing, a few times i thought he had actually died.

But as soon as i put these 3 girlys in the tank he was swimming around them like he was on redbull or something and coz there are 3 of them they get all his attention shared so its not too 'full on' and stressfull for them.

Maybe u could try this, depends how big your tank is.. mind mines not huge and it works fine
