Pearl gourami sick?

[Jblair21]

I just got 3 pesrl gouramis about a week ago and my tank consists of tank ornaments/plants/gravel. My water parameters are:
Ammonia: 0
Njtrite: 0
Nitrate: 30

The little guy looks a little sick and hangs at bottom of tank or near my large amazom sword. He has like no color and his upper body is a dark brown. What might be going on? I checked his body and has no lesions or spots or fin rot.

Maybe it is getting bullied by the other two? Keep an eye on it.

Difficult to see. Is the shape normal ?

 

[Jblair21]

Yea looks normal to me. Same shape as the other 2 guys.
Here might be a better pic

Are they all males ? Did you see bullying ?

 

[Jblair21]

I think they are all same sex, cause similar body features. Here is another one..and the 3rd stays under my boat alot. I havent noticed any bullying.

Mmmmmm thinking up loud now.
Do you notice the other two "rule" the upper part of the tank?
Sometimes a less dominant male is "forced" downwards / in hiding.

Therefor I doubt three males is a good idea.

I'll keep an eye on it and if it gets worse I'll add females to the tank. Thanks!!
