I just noticed that I have 1 Tiger Barb which is having difficulties swimming. It seems my tiger barb is having problems with its swimm bladder, since it is constantly doing a nose stand while swimming sideways (the fish seem to be fighting not to flip belly-up).
I have another 9 tiger barbs sharing the same tank, who seem to be doing alright - at least, so far.
The dilema is whether I should remove the fish that has the problem or just leave it there with the others, since I don't have another tank to house the sick fish. I guess it is too late for the fish swimming sideways...
I don't know if it helps to find out what the disease is, but yesterday as I did a water change, I noticed tinny white worms in the water (about 0.5mm long and very thin, hardly visible). I can only think that came from tap water, since there was nothing new introduced in the tank.
HELP I need right now:
1. Do I remove the sick fish? Could that be contagious? If so, should I keep watching the fish or just ... you know...
Pls help!
Thanks in advance!
