With dwarf gourami disease is it worth buying and getting attached to a dwarf gourami? What are the changes of it dying? Sounds high
Well, I have to get all my fish from petsmart. All my LFS are horrible! Maybe I will try but idk. A lot of people seem to have a hard time.I have never this disease before nor experienced it. I've had multiple Dwarf Gouramis over the years all living 4 years or a bit over. I think it depends on the supplier like Laxin10 stated.
I've personally purchased mine from PetSmart. They've been great everytime.
I think it only affects labyrinth fish.Well, I have to get all my fish from petsmart. All my LFS are horrible! Maybe I will try but idk. A lot of people seem to have a hard time.
Is it contagious to other fish that are not DG?
I have never heard of an opaline gourami getting the indirivirus, are you sure that's what killed it?Personally, I will not purchase anymore. My 1st was a 3 spot. We started this "Wet Pet" Adventure together. He was the centerpiece of a 55 Planted Community. I got him when he was about 1.5", he thrived and grew to about 3+ inches. He was known as "Big Blue". He was the "King" of the tank. Would always come up and "Greet" me. Even would attempt to touch my finger with his ventral fins through the glass. The disease came out of nowhere and he was gone with 4 days. A few months later I did try a 2nd one, but the same thing happened. Here is a pic of "Big Blue".

Nevermind, I forgot that it affected 3 spot gouramis, as well as other anatabids.I have never heard of an opaline gourami getting the indirivirus, are you sure that's what killed it?
I personally like honey gourami, they are still small but they aren’t part of the DG family so they cannot get the virus
