I'm devastated. My male dwarf gourami is most likely dying on his side and he isn't moving except for his mouth and gills. I should've listened and returned him because I have another male in the tank but I wanted to wait until they got older since they were almost never aggressive with each other. I was actually going to return him this Saturday but I don't know what to do. ImageUploadedByAquarium Advice1429228795.762716.jpg As you can see he is almost grey in colour and all the other fish in the tank are thriving. It's a 23 gallon long tank with two juvenile angelfish, another DG, five neon tetras and five zebra danios. The temperature is set at 24 degrees and I have an AquaClear 50 filter. I do weekly water changes and pretty thorough gravel cleaning every other week. Please help:(

Its a fish............seriously don't be devastated!
If you raise guppies, you'd better get use to it. They have a tendancy to die a lot.
 
Thanks everyone. He died this morning. I removed him from the tank after posting because I knew he wouldn't make it anyways. :(

I had one like this, he died. Same symptoms, he was just lying on a plant gasping and looking at me with his gray colour and glasses over eyes. Sorry you lost him.

I'm sorry for yours as well. I hope we can find something that will treat this soon, I hate to see fish suffer like that.

Me too. It makes me feel like I am not doing my job as a fishkeeper.

Oh, and glassed over eyes, the fish wasn't wearing glasses.
