I have 2 albino Tiger barbs and 2 tiger barbs that share my 30 gallon with the rest of my fish. One of my albino Tiger Barbs has an abnormal mouth i am worried about being disease. But then again maybe its a mutation? It can eat and show no signs of unhealthiness however just has a mouth that has a beak/ tube appearance; much different than the other 3 barbs. Please someone let me know if this is just an abnormal mutation or something that has potential to effect my other fish like a disease of some sourt.

Thanks!
 
As long as he/she is eating, and is not showing any signs of stress, there should be nothing to worry about.

Kinda looks like a fish duck. :p
 
Yeah it actually looks just like a duckbill. Haha

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep an eye on him. Glad it doesn't seem too bad
