Yeah, she does look a little bloated. I thought it might have just been camera angle though. Could you get a better picture? Us she swimming normally?

I would recommend removing the divider. Those fish need the full length of the tank without the divider in it.

Generally by the time they're like that they're gonners, sorry for your loss :(

Maybe it'll scrounge the bottom for food?

The hongi should take care of them if she isn't under stress from other fish. What size tank are you dividing? You may be able to take the divider out and get better results. Kribensis aren't usually that aggressive when breeding if they have enough space.. How many tanks do you have? What size...

Umm, I would invest in an API saltwater master kit for your usual parameters (ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate) do you know how long the tank was setup for before you bought it? As for the salty side of things you'll need to invest in a few other things that I don't know the names of lol. I think...

Well if its just the 3 tetras in it I would say add 3 more so they can school, other than that you have a ton of options in a 40 gallon! I would do some cruising around on the site and look for some you like, then come back here and we can help you with a stocking list that'll work for your tank...

What size tank are we talking here?

I like my 29, it's a little on the boxy side, so it's kind of like watching tv. Not too good for partial air breathers however because its tall, and more active top swimmers tend to like a more horizontal length than I have.

Do you have a test kit? Some parameters would be great here. It sounds like something is wrong there. (I'm on the freshwater things so my knowledge is limited, just trying to help others help you)

You can try it, but you're mixing Africans with dwarf cichlids and community fish, which is a risky combo.

It's a puffer fish!!! I'm not an expert on puffers by any stretch, but it could be a full grown Green Spotted Puffer.

Yeah you could do the other barbs I guess, in other news that jack Dempsey will kill everything in that tank lol.

I imagine if you used a bubbler to keep things moving it would, and probably not without a filter of some sort.

I would look into getting more rosy barbs definitely and see if that helps. What is the stocking of the tank right now? And yeah that looks like a common. You can also try giving the pleco some more hiding spots to get away from the barbs.
