Try giving him some frozen blood worms. Most fish will gobble up blood worms like there's no tomorrow. Get a small pinch (the size of a dime) and drop them into the water right above the Gourami. He is likely just stressed and adjusting to his new home. Give him some time to find his bearings, and leave the light off as much as possible to relieve stress. They will be fine on flake food as soon as he feels better, and you can use blood worms as a weekly treat. Email me if you have any questions.

the Dwarf Gourami is a bubble nest builder. However it is unique in that it will use bits of vegetation in its nest; such things as leaves, twigs, roots, peat fibers, and other debris. These fish are very desirable for a smaller aquarium but be sure to give them with lots of plant cover not only for nest building, but also to provide plenty of places to hide.
