One Of My Rosy Barbs Has Gone All White And Doesnt Swim Very Much Help

[somesittingducks]

Hi, it doesnt swim very much at all, and very slowly, doesnt come up to feed, so I get out my net and feed it separatly. Also, its not rosy anymore and has gone a very pale colour.

Help Please - it will be appreciated!



PS - it keeps falling over to its right, so could it be its swim bladder?[/quote]

I think its got fin rot

Need more info i'm afraid.
Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate, and ph.
How long have you had the fish as being pale can be.
Ph shock.
Bad water quality.
Parasites, so any signs of flicking and rubbing ior laboured breathing.

Thanks for your concern, however it seems to be swimming normally again.

Thanks again

Ok good.

It turns out that its just isnt feeding, I saw it today lying on the bottom again, fed it in the net and its fine again now! Just have to be careful feeding it.

Hes not well when they lay on the bottom bacterial to parasite, if there no flicking and rubbing I would add a bacterial med.
Good luck.
