I have 4 3-spot gouramis.
a few moments ago my male gold was kind of floating but his head pointing down, i frankly believe my male gold won't last long because he has always been kind of lethargic compared to his female tank mates. I can even pet him without him freaking out.
also i noticed that my female gold was sleeping/resting but what caught my attention is that she was doing so at the bottom of the tank, right on top of the gravel.
these 2 behaviors only happen when they rest, when they awaken they swim just fine.
I've noticed that when they rest they tend to do so at different levels, sometimes low mostly middle and top, but never resting on the gravels, which is my concern.
little white and blue are just fine, but if this is something i can fix i will try, i want my fish alive.
i still haven't found a water test kit, all i could find was a ph test kit. will the ph kit help me figure out the problem? are they sick?
i think i have an algae bloom, i have to basically do water changes weekly because by the end of the week my water gets a slight green algae color. i even have to scrap some algae spots on the wall of my tank.
sorry for the low light pictures, i didn't want to use flash on them resting.
