Ok, I need some help. Last night I had a sick gourami, not three spot, so I moved him from the 55 to the ten gallon. I have two blue three spot gouramis, one male and one female. They are the same size, female slightly larger, 4 inches, they do not get along with each other or other middle dwellers. One was in the 10 and one was in the 29. I moved the female in with the male last night so it wasnt in with the sick fish and put netting in the 29 to keep them seperated. Since I had to keep getting up with my baby last night, I kept checking on them. Though they had kept switching sides, which means there was some contact, everytime I checked on them, they were seperated. There are no torn or bleeding fins this morning, but their mouths are a little red, I was expecting this, due to probably pecking at each other through the net. But this morning when I went to turn off the light, their spots were no longer visible and they are now striped, light with dark blue stripes.
Is this mateing or due to stress?
