Sick striped barb?

[cntrygirl]

Just got 2 little striped barbs for my local pet store. The other new fish are fine but one is laying on the bottom, falling onto it's side then swims a little just to fall back to the bottom. What do I do?

How it your fish doing? May not have handled the transfer well. Do you have anything like a breeding net or container to isolate him?

He died a few minutes after I posted this.

Sad news Just didn't handle aclimitising to the new tank?

Yea that's what I thought. Even though the ride home is only 15 minutes and I floated them for 20. Ohh well. Everyone else is doing great though!

I've had that as well. The odd one that doesn't last 24hrs when the rest are fine. Good news rest are doing well.
