So about a month ago I purchased some barbs and they were doing fine until two days ago. I got them when they were pretty small, probably an inch or less. I had 5. So in the past two days I have been monitoring the water very closely because I know something isn't right. The issue is that the biggest barb in the tank chased two of the smaller barbs literally non-stop. The tiger barbs, which are green tiger barbs, turned completely white.
It got really bad tonight however, worse than it has been in the past couple of days, so I monitored them very closely, and when it looked like they finally were sleeping and not chasing I went to bed.
I just woke up to find the one that was doing the chasing is dead. None of these barbs have any signs of sickness and the water levels are perfect.
What am I missing, and why was the bully barb the one to drop dead? And what should I do with the others?
