well, today i noticed my dwarf flame gourami laying on the bottom of the aquarium, on his side, still moving, but not swimming, no eratic breathing, calm, and nothing seems to be wrong, i just did a water change fearing that the water stats may be bad, all the other fish are doing great. (knock on wood) it is a 40 gallon, tank, heavely planted, i don't have any of the water stats, yet, i will have them tomorrow. if he is still alive that is.

is there any thing else i need to add? i also have a picture, but it didn't come out very well......you just see a red dot, on the gravel.

thanks in advanced,
Tyler

Could be a swim bladder problem... :dunno:

what should i do to fix it, or can I?

Try to do a large water change and keep him close to the surface...he can probably fix it himself. :)

apparently not.........i didn't get to this information soon enough, so he sorta hit the ocean (if you know what i mean) :rip: so, thats one bad thing, and another, good god i am mad at my self for this! i had my fry net in my 50 gallon while cleaning out my 40 gallon, and i dropped it in the water, and all but one (there were i beleive 5 or 6 in their) i got out in time, the others were lunch....... :bye: poor little guys.so, all in all, not a good day in my 40 gallon, so yeah, thank you shadow.
I should of gotton earlier to look on this. again thanks.

:hug: Sorry for your losses. :hug: :rip:
