Title: Honey gourami has a pink nose
Post by: AndreaC on December 30, 2014, 01:12:07 PM

Hi all :) So my male honey gourami has been developing truly fantastic colors and seems generally happy and healthy. Today however, I noticed that the tip of his face looks quite raw, almost like it's been cut. Does anyone know if this is serious or whether I need to do anything about it?

Never heard of a Honey getting a pink nose. I know they develop black/dark blue throats, but never pink!

I think it was just a small cut or something. I did a big water change so that there were as few bugs in the water as possible and he's fine now :)

I hope it's nothing more serious. They are absolutely stunning little fish once settled in the tank. Hope he gets well soon!
