Hello,
Last week, I set up a new 50 gallon freshwater tank. Saturday, I added 4 green tiger barbs and 1 rainbow shark. Since bringing them home, 1 of the barbs have seem to mainly swim by themselves. It is quite smaller than the rest and seems to have bulgy eyes. Gradually it has showed increased weakness in swimming and gets bullied by the rest. Today, I removed it to a separate tank, but now is having bouyancy issues. There is one other bard that maybe seems a little weaker, but overall seems fine.
YouTube takes away some of the quality but here is a link to it swimming prior to removal.
Tank: 50 gallons. Freshwater with a live rock and spider wood. All new substrate (medium rocks and sand) with artificial plants. I have a MarineLand canister filter. Temperature is kept at 75. PH=7.4 Ammonium and Nitrites=0 Nitrates=0-5ppm - I use the API master test kit.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
