    Is this normal for a tiger barb?

    As you can see the barb has a smudge on both sides, and a sort of green shine, I rescued 5 of them from a man who had a filthy tank and bad water, only 1 has this mark, the rest are normal looking with stripes, just wondering if it was normal or he is sick? Maybe sexually active? Not sure...

    Desert sand for aquarium

    I have a bag of sand for reptiles (used for bearded dragon) I was wondering if it's okay to use for my aquarium, it says nothing on the bag about any added chemical or calcium, just that it's a natural desert sand, ideal for reptiles from the desert environment.

    I recently acquired a small map turtle, it's around 2 inches in diameter, I also have a group of neon tetras (or had) that started to disappear slowly, I was wondering if the turtle was killing them as food maybe?
