    That Gourami has been sick for a good while, should not have been sold in the 1st place. You can see that its body has already showing signs of wasting away. You can also see that is showing HITH aswell in one pic. The store will euthanise it straight away and should offer you something else.

    Dwarf gourami fat or something worse?

    Remember that female dwarf gouramies do look very fat when eggy. Best to keep giving some peas to help with a cleanse. If the male does not build a nest, put in some bubble wrap in a quiet corner. The male will recognise this as somewhere he can build a nest. And thus will trigger mating habits...
