What sickness does my flame gourami have?

Question

My flame gourami seems to be sick because it stays in the same corner unless the glass is poked, it wont eat any food and a fish that usually is picked on by it is picking on him. It may have something to do with a just got 2 yabbies but i am not sure. Can you please help?

Answer 1

Do you see any open wounds or discoloration?  Dwarf Gouramis have been plagued by iridovirus lately, which is not curable.  It often starts off with hiding, open wounds, darkened color, refusal of food, swelling, and other symptoms conducive to fish TB.  The best I can recommend is to hope for the best and keep the tank clean.
