gourami is probably what you mean
white fluffy stuff around the sore? (as a secondary infection)
raise the temp slowly to 86 for 2 weeks...add 1 tablespoon of salt per 5 gallons...water change 30-50% per week...lower water surface to permit water agitation...if you do go the in the tank medication route, remove the carbon from the filter if you have any...or take the fish out if it exhibits two thing: no eating and no movement (and put it down in a small amount of water in the freezer or add clove oil to the water)
I am sure others have advice
