I got 2 tiger barbs and some other fish about a week ago; they were fine when they arrived but now they are acting a bit strangely. One tiger barb (the skinnier one) began hanging around the filter and heater one day, and I never thought of anything to it because my mollies like to do that every so often. But then the next day I saw he started tipping a little over to the right and going sideways. I quickly netted him out and was ready to put some salt in when he started swimming normally again. I studied him for about half an hour the decided to net him back into the community tank. He is now hiding and not eating. The second tiger barb is fatter than the first one and eats a lot. 3 days ago, she started floating to the top and is now vertical, nose down. I thought this was a sign of constipation because I haven't seen her poop in a while, so I tried feeding peas but she won't eat anything. I don't know why I didn't go get a water test earlier I'm going to get one tonight.
Please help I don't want these two to die
