Hey guys.
I have a cheery barb in my tank (with a mixture of others) and he has over the past couple of days been laying on his side and struggles to move.
i have put him in a net so the other fish cant nibble him but hes not moving much.
One of his pelvic fins is tucked in whilst the other one is straight out, when i fed them earlier he started to swim but spiralled when he moved forward, his belly has gone pale and the top of his head has gone really dark (sign of stress maybe?) he also looks a bit floppy like he has no strength to keep himself straight
is there anything i can do to make him well again or is it too late?
If you need any more information or pictures then please ask
Thanks
Rob
