Ok. Here's the story.

Four days ago my fiance's giant gourami died, then the following day her blue gourami also.

Did the usually water change and test. Everything normal.

Went out of town for the weekend.

Came back to three more dead gouramis.

Did another water test/change, everything normal.

The rams, mollies, misc. cats and everything else seem normal.

Until I noticed that my smallest clown had a red (almost bloody looking face).

He then began swelling and died last night.

Did another water change and everything is still normal. Went and bought maracyn 2.

Is this the right thing to do? When the first gourami died I thought it was just a swim bladder infection but then the rest began dying. One giant left but he is bloated and his stomach is appearing red.

Tank info:
75 gal

All water parameters normal.
Enough filtration for a 180 gal.


Any help?
