my gourami

Question
hi, i have to gold coloured gourami's in my community tank, bot i have noticed one keeps attacking the other and a large amount of his tail has gone and he is not as lively as normal, i have heard about putting salt on its tail but don't no how true that is, what would you advise i do? thanks Louise

Answer
Hi Louise,

Separate the two fish, first of all.

The one who is injured needs a tank where he's not being bullied.

Adding salt does help, but it's not necessary.  His tail will heal once he's removed from the bully.

Happy fish-keeping,

Renee
