well heres the thing guys i have had this blue gourami (male) for 1-2years now but something very shocking happend 1-2months ago. as soon as i removed the females that were in his tank he got this insane color deformity that has effected his whole body.


its like his body was split in half one half white (like white white no color at all) one color pale blue his gills red and hes fins are all short and invisible.

its a sight to see but its very very difficult to take a picture of him because he hides in the middle of my tank (were driftwood piles) and wont ever come out he only comes out on rare ocassions.

so my questions is;

what the heck is going on?!
 
All I can think is that he had all those male hormones going boosting his color, then you completely deflated his Mojo by removing his women and now he is sulking
no idea. I'm not familiar with Gourami traits.

But i have to see a picture. Move the wood and get him in the open to take one!
