I have a 15 gallon tank with an air filter thingy. my blue gourami seems fine. but for some reason the pink one is staying at the bottom. but the blue one chases the pink one alot. could the blue one be pregnant?
never mind about the pregnant question. i meant could the pink one be pregnant but now i know pink and blue cant mate.

No. He is stressed because the blue one is harassing him. These fish should not be kept together in the first place, and a 15 gallon is too small for either of them anyways. Left in the tank, the pink will eventually die of stress. Please do your research BEFORE getting any pet.
Sounds like the pink kisser is stressed because the blue is harassing him a lot. And a 15 is too small for either of these fish. You could MAYBE keep the blue by itself in there but not much else. The blue is going to get close to 5″ in size and the pink kisser will get even bigger. I would suggest trying to find a home for the pink kisser before he dies from stress and either move the blue up to a bigger tank or resolve to keep just the blue in there by himself. Either way, the two will not live in there much longer, it’s just not big enough for the both of them.
