I have a male and female Red dwarf gourami (pic's in phot section) my male seems to be losing his color he's now turned white from his dorsal fin to his side fins all over (so he's half white upper side and red lower side) and I am not seeing him eat anything. Any ideas what might be wrong?

Is the female aggressive towards him? it probably has something to do with that. She may be aggressive and he may fear her and not eat, But usually most dwarf gouramis are peaceful, I would divide the tank or move the female into a different tank that can house her properly.

She's not bothering him at all, she's actually being hounded by my lone male Platy ... go figure

sorry for the late response. No Gasping, no white spots, there's no other symptom other then his color loss.

well, just move the girl one, the male is too weak to move and if you do he can die, I'd move the female to a tank that can keep her well.

Thanks for the advice but it's to late, he passed away just a few minutes ago He has no outer symptoms so maybe it was internal
