These photos are current of my Opaline Gourami ... This photo shows his posture [its out of focus, sorry] http://www.geocities.com/anrkey_grrrl/g4.jpg He stays at the surface of the water most of the time. But when swimming to and from the surface, he swims like he doesn't have very good balance. This photo shows the dark patch above his right eye http://www.geocities.com/anrkey_grrrl/g2.jpg Again, this photo shows his typical posture. This is another angle of the patch above his right eye http://www.geocities.com/anrkey_grrrl/g3.jpg For comparison, this was my male in 2001 http://uniquaria.com/photogallery/gourami/mgmopaline.jpg Thanks for all the help [and I'm open to anymore ideas too]! I'm heading to PETsMART tonight to get salt and some vitamin fortified foods for him. I really enjoy this fish and hope he pulls thru!
