I have...well had now, a powder blue gourami. I have had him for a month or two, maybe longer and he was doing fine. Then I noticed he was staying in the back of the tank, very reclusive. Then yesterday I noticed he was headfirst in the gravel and at first glance thought maybe he was just digging at some food because I could see he was still kicking. I came back a few minutes later and he was still there so I got him up with the net. Half of his mouth was covered with what looked like a brown/green growth and he was just gasping for air. He also had some spots I hadn't noticed on him. He definitely looked like he was in some pain. I immediately put him in a small 1 gallon tank to get him away from the other fish. He unfortunately died a few hours later, probably from shock more than anything else. It's strange because he seemed to be doing fine for so long. I do have a neon dwarf in there as well who seems to be doing ok. At least I haven't seen any growth on his face. I know this seems pretty vague, but if anyone has any clues or a website that might help, I would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks.
