my friends do not care BUT the Airbnb I’m staying at has an aquarium with two male blue gouramis and a handful of red and black wagtail platys
I thought the fish had a parasite… does it?
no that’s its sword
Those are its fins! Gouramis have two long, thin, pointy fins, which are often used like whiskers, reaching out like you see to tap at objects. Other fish have the same fins, but fin-shaped instead of poking-shape.
Multiple gouramis shouldn’t really be in the same tank, though, they’re territorial. Also that plant in the background is lucky bamboo. It’s not fully aquatic, so it eventually suffocates and dies if its leaves aren’t out of the water.
