I got 2 medium sized Pink Kissing Gourami. The bigger one started swiming really fast around the tank, jumping into the air like it's trying to escape. Then it will just float there like it's dead, not really moving or anything. I'll nudge at it with the net thinking it's dead and the cycle will start again. Is it sick? What's wrong?

It doesn't have white spots on it does it? These sound like the fish is trying to put itself out of it's misery, and then having sudden loss of energy, which are symptoms of a fish disease called ick.

t's reacting to some bad water condition in the tank. It is just more sensitve than the other. Do a big water change 50-60% and check the temperature. That should help him out a bit.

Check the PH in the water and the water temperature.
