We have a community tank with 2 honey gourami (both male), 8 hengeli/glowlight rasbora, 2 bristlenose pleco, and 3 amano shrimp. And 1 ramshorn snail. Can I add Apistogramma with this stock? Would they have issues with the gourami or amano shrimp? The shrimp are now over an inch long. Tank is 32.5g, heavily planted with lots of hides.

I am sorry for your loss Jessica. I don’t think ours is going to make it either. It’s getting weaker and weaker no matter what we try.

One of our honey gourami is doing the same thing but is in worse shape. It is very weak. We have it in a hospital tank with a heater but we are not running the filter because it cannot swim if there is any current. It swims to the top to get air, then sinks back down to the bottom and lays there - head up and tilted to the side a bit. Should I try epsom salt as well? There does appear to be a small bump or maybe a curve to its spine near the tail but I cannot get a picture because it’s too weak to hold itself upright for long. Not bloated and no obvious body or scale issues other than the bump near the tail. If anything, it looks on the thin side.
