Hi! I am new to having fish. I just set up my first aquarium and I love it! The lady at Petco suggested that I add fish to the tank slowly - adding a few every couple of weeks. I originally bought 3 pearl danios and 3 tetras. Since they add did fine for a couple of weeks, I went back to Petco yesterday and bought 2 rainbow gouramis and 2 flame gouramis (they are beatiful). I didn't pay much attention to which fish the Petco employee was putting in the bag. When I got home, I realized one of the rainbow gouramis wasn't looking well while still in the bag. I added them to the tank and kept an eye on him. He mostly sits at the bottom of the tank and lays on his right side. This morning, I noticed a difference between the two rainbow gouramis. The one that is having health problems has a red spot on his left side. It looks like he was possibly injured because he doesn't have scales over the red spot. I hope you can see it in the picture. Is there any hope of his survival? Should I take him back to Petco? Should I put him in his own tank? Know what would have cause this?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
