Very unwell tiger barb just bought, poss got too cold. Off color v pale and lethargic, now sitting on bottom, going down hill fast - anyone got any advise please

I don't think there's anything you can do for now. Just keep the lights off and let the fish have some peace and quiet.

crank your heat up man. Mine get pale if the water isn't around 78-80. they are so pretty when they are happy. good luck

Dont forget when you raise temp& add Chems, it lowers Oxygen intake, might want to add an airstone.

I assume the tank is fully cycled and ready to accept fish. What about new tank syndrome?

Have you just one TB, or have you got a skool? They normally like to be others (at least 6, more is better).

When my TB last looked unwell just turning the temp up and reducing light seemed to work.

hope your TB gets well soon.

Penguin, over and out.
