So, I had 6 glo-fish with 6 cherry barbs. The glo-fish started dying and I found out that the barbs were semi-aggressive (complete opposite info given to me by LFS employee & she's majoring in marine biology, which scares me.) Anyhoo....I figured that the barbs were harrassing the glo-fish so I sold them back to the LFS...I want a peaceful community tank without any murders if I can help it. Well, a couple more died after the barbs were gone, leaving 2. Last night I went to feed the new neon tetras and the 2 glo-fish that were left. One of the glo-fish is crooked - his head and tail lower than his back. It's obvious b/c the other glo-fish is straight as a pin. Any ideas as to what is going on? How long do glo-fish live?
Thanks!
 
It may be that the glo fish were sick from the start. There are a few illnesses that it might be. I am guessing you got them all from the same lfs? How long have you had the glo fish for?

I did get them from the same LFS. I've had them now about 2 months.
Thanks!
