My male blue gourami has 2 "antenna" they are as long as his body, he uses
them for all kinds of things, is that what you are talking about.

Alas, I lost one female gourami :-( the infection, medication, new
tank, new tank cycling was a bit too much for her :-( not to mention
after being in the Q-tank, she developed what looks like some growth
around her mouth that seemed to keep her from eating (cancer???). she
was a bit of a genetic weirdo having 3 pairs of anal fins (the long
thin ones that looks like antenna) so... it's possible she had some
other mutation problems prior to all this issue.

waaaa...

hopefully the other one will survive the treatment...

:-(

original problem was unknown lesions appearing on the gouramis. it
looked like hole-in-the-head, but it wasn't... and then it was
suggested that it might be columnaris, and I freaked. but i should
have known that it couldn't be it, since the condition has been
deteriorating for months without affecting other fish. then was
suggested velvet, body fungus, etc etc... and they didn't really
respond to any medication at all. so.. they got moved to the q-tank
so I can do more aggressive treatment without killing the plants or
other fish..
