Gouramis with bent spine

I'll double-check the electrical stuff. But the nutritonal deficiency explanation sounds much more plausible. It's likely they weren't eating for days before I noticed their sickness. I'm guessing the water conditions took a turn for the worse somewhat before I noticed all this, and that they stopped eating because of it.

Well, they held on a lot longer than I thought, but the second of the two gouramis died today. I also lost a couple cories from this. The good news is that my angels and rummynose are all happy and healthy. The better news is that the tank is healthy and the water is stable again. I will probably get more pearl gouramis, as they were very pretty and community-friendly fish. I think it will be safe to start re-stocking again.
