you put them in a new tank? If you recently changed their environment it might take some time for them to feel comfortable again.

More info would help. What kind of gourami? What was the new tank like compared to the tank it was in before? Do they have adequate hiding places (plants, driftwood, etc>)?

 

[danielle_adam]

they are golden ones ans thew tank was a 20g befor now is a 48
its just weird

What other kind of fish are they with?

Gouramis can be shy, they need lots of hiding places in the tank....

They're just getting used to their new home. My Pearl's took around a month to settle in, and now the male has a lovely golden chest!
