Oh man, I wish I’d seen this post last week! Brought a red honey gourami home who wasn’t really red, the guy said it was pale because it was stressed and as it settled in the color would show. Anywho, he/she just never seemed right, either hung out at the top or was resting/laying on the bottom or on various plant leaves. Nothing physically wrong showing on the outside. Only ate half of what the fish store said to feed and then stopped altogether. He/she did not make it…I’m so sad I hadn’t seen this post last week.
I bought the API test kit and checked daily and all levels were great the entire time. Temp of 78°.
Should I treat the water with something before getting new fish?
