He was a hungry bugger, anywhere he could get to the food quickest, surface below, all over, i gave him salt bath and he is in quarantine tank now, i put a pea in thereblack ghost wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 20:13 pmDoes it eat at the surface? Tiger Barbs do that a lot when they’ve swallowed air, but it’s temporary. If not, then it does sound like a swim bladder problem.John Arnold wrote: ↑Wed Sep 23, 2020 20:02 pmNo it doesnt show he is swimming down all time, has trouble reaching bottom
