Sick or Injured Cherry Barb?

[Ryan_F]

This little girl I’ve had for just over a year. She’s been fine up until about 2 hours ago. Looks like she’s struggling to swim around? Overfeeding or internal parasites? I’ll send a video if I can, not sure how. I’ll add photos

Is it swim bladder?

The fish in the picture is a male cherry barb.

If it suddenly started having trouble swimming, then it is probably stuffed. It might have ruptured an organ or the swim bladder might have crapped itself.

If the fish is still eating then it's not an internal bacterial infection.
