Default Blue Gorami issue

Bonnie,

Your pH is the problem. Both the goramies and the synodontis require a pH of app. 7.4. I would slowly raise the pH by using baking soda. In a 30 gallon to a 55 gallon a couple of tablespoons and then a few hours later test the pH. Wait a couple of days before you add more baking soda. In this way you will gradually increase the pH without stressing the fish. I would add live plants to the tank as goramies love plants. Maintain the temp. at 75-80 degrees F.
This should help!
Joe
