I started out with four neon dwarf gourami, lost one due to a a water change/cleaning accident. Well I lost another one today. I don't know how it died. I do know that it kept getting thinner and thinner, almost transparent like. My husband found her dead and stuck to the filter tube. When I scooped her out, she looked like her tail was half gone. I have two males remaining. I don't think the males got to her only because they never have in the past. They've never been aggressive with the only female.

What could have caused her to become paper thin? I"ve seen her eat, so it's not like she was starved.

All the other fish are doing good.

Thanks!

A tank can be great when it's started because i's stocked with juvie fish. However, as the fish grow and become mature, things change.

Now that you have 2 males, it's possible you'll lose one more, but if the tank is decorated well, they might tollerate each other in the 55.

Your corys would appreciate some friends.

im sorry for your loss
have you checked the water parimeters lately? whats your readings? sometimes a mini cycle can sneak up when we least expect it....and I agree with jaysee...although you have 55g, gouramis are territorial and dont usually play well with their own kind...good luck with the rest!

I'm so sorry. It's tough to lose the little guys.
