I have a gourami problem?

Question

I Have a golden gourami and he seems to be acting strange. He spends about 80 percent of his time at the surface breathing. I understand he has a labyrinth organ and all that but none of my other gouramis do this! I have an air stone and good water and all that. Please help.

Answer 1

Chill, its p-erefctly normal. Just like not all humans can hold there breathe very long, your gourami can not hold its breathe very long and needs to breathe.

Answer 2

If he is breathing fast then he might have a infection and you should use Melafix.(its in a blue bottle and you can get it at petco)
