My tiger barb still won't eat or swim with the rest of the tiger barbs what's wrong with him and what should I do
 
I don't have any of those fish but I'd separate him into a 'hospital' tank, give him some meds for about 3 days, doing 100% water change adding conditioner of course, make sure water temp matches. Check your water parameters in original tank for amonia, nitrite and nitrates.
 
Test your water to make sure ammonia/nitrite/nitrate levels are good.

First thing I'd try is a 50% water change, see if that perks him up.

Don't bomb the tank with meds until you have an idea what's wrong. Not eating/schooling can be anything.
 
Ya there fine it's just the one I mean other people I have talked to said he might be getting picked on is that a solution because he stays in one spot. He refuses to eat and he avoids the other 9 tiger barbs
