update gourami, he is now laying on the bottom of the tank not swimming
around, i feel so bad wish there was something i could do for him but i
think the lack of oxygen when he was out, and the brush burn on his top
fin may due him in, i put a little extra salt in the tank, i usualy put
a
little less in the tank normaly then it says to incase i need to use it
for something then i can use more.

Opinions please? Could this gourami have been helped any more if, when
returned to the tank, Nikki had pushed him back and forth through the
water to get good water through his gills? It works on TV.

ha....ha ..I do that any time I think a fish is dying.
It don't just work on TV, I found that out when I started to keep guppies, I
had a beautiful male, black & yellow, and when you live in Pittsburgh, pa
and the Steelers are winning, you don't let nothing black & gold die.
Any way one day I noticed he was upside down, did not notice his gills
moving, I tried to turn him right side up but he kept going upside down, was
not moving dead for all intent purpose, I moved him back and forth though
the water and sure enough he came up and with in a few minutes he was fine,
he is still alive today...

I tried that with the gourami, and he did come to, and looked good till this
afternoon, he is still alive just sitting on the bottom of the tank leaning
on a rock, breathing heavy ..... i keep checking on him but he is not doing
anything but sitting there.
