Hi everyone,
I have a honey gourami that’s not doing well. We have had the honey gouramis since around Thanksgiving, they went through about a month of quarantine and I followed the Aquarium CoOp quarantine protocol, they even got a 2nd dose of ParaCleanse two weeks after the 1st dose and another week of monitoring before placing them into the main tank.
We went away for 3 days and came home to our yellow dude looking quite pale and laying on its side at the bottom of the tank.
The fish was in a 29 gallon tank with seven panda corys, a group of harlequin rasboras, 2 amano shrimp, bladder snails, and a female honey gourami, with a Seachem Tidal 35 filter.
The panda corys and harlequin rasboras seem just fine, the other honey gourami seems kind of pale, but eating and swimming normally.
I tested the water today (also see photos).
pH: between 7.2 -7.4
Nitrite: 0
NitrATE: between 0-5 ppm
Ammonia: between 0-0.25 ppm
I isolated the fish in a holding tank with an air stone. He swims, but not well, here’s a video:

Any suggestions as to how to help the fish?
Thank you in advance for being kind.
