i did not realy look at the fish i was getting and let my mum choose the fish.
The tank they were in had heaps of dead fish, it was a fresh batch of dwarf gouramis we got two females got them home and put them in the tank and about 3 days later they developed dropsy and died.
3 days later the males got it and died, it wiped all of my gouramis but did not affect the tetras.
watch the fish for a bit b4 u buy them
it is my fav pet shop they dident realy want to sell them so at the pet shop if they say that they might have problems dont buy them
 
yikes sorry about your fish-
next time dont let mom choose the fish
 
Sorry to hear about it! :(
 
from what I've heard, Dwarf Gouramis (in particular) have a track-record of not being healthy . . . apparently, they are subject to a virus of some sort, and it is epidemic among DG populations . . . too bad, because I think they are absolutely perfect little fish for a smaller tank
