Hi everyone! I’m looking for some help regarding 6 new tiger barbs I bought a few days ago. I bought them at petsmart, which isn’t ideal but it’s the only store near me. They’re pretty small and I have them in a 25 gallon tank with 2 mystery snails. The tank cycled for about a week before I put anything in. Anyway, they all seemed fine and energetic the first couple of days, but yesterday I noticed them becoming less active and losing their appetite. This morning they wouldn’t eat at all and stay in one area of the tank. I also noticed them starting to flash on objects yesterday. I checked my water parameters and they’re all fine. Is it early signs of ich? Is it flukes? I’m relatively new to identifying fish diseases, but I’d really like to get these guys feeling better soon!
