    Early stage of Dropsy...gourami's are prone to it...get some Praziquantral - it sometimes helps

    This is urgent. I lost several dwarf and sunset gourami to this...

    Are the scales raised/spikey?

    Could it not be bloat (constipation)? I don't know how susceptible gouramis are to it, but I know bettas are..
