I have not seen him poop. He seems to have no interest in eating and now kind of has a curve in his body ... what does the Epsoms Salt do?

He does have a bulging belly ... I bought a mesh breeding box so I could separate him from the rest (so he would have a chance at eating the peas) but he doesn't seem to have any interest in them. :(

Thank you for taking the time to respond. He doesn't seem to be bloated. I will get a qt tank and try the boiled peas (can they be from frozen)? It hurts my heart to watch him struggle, I hope this helps!

Hello, I have a 55g aquarium that contains 6 peppered cories, 6 gold barbs, 6 green tiger barbs, 3 odessa barbs and 9 zebra danios. Everything is good in the tank, all levels are good. 1 of my zebra danios seems to sink, poor little bugger needs to always be actively swimming to stay afloat. I'm...

I do that, the whole tank is like their neighbourhood, they don't have any one section that they prefer. Watching them now (I just fed) it seems they prefer the pellets that I drop for the cories *smh* Thank you for your post :)

They seem to be, but they are more active at night so when I shut off the lights for the night I add a little food in hopes that the other fish don't see it and they get it. I still have three so they must be getting some. Thanks for checking in :)

Worth a shot, thank you!

Thank you! I'm still going to add a few more plants but that's about it for now :)

Thank you for your comments! Yes the cories look fine but seem skitish, and seem to come out more when the lights are off :( but they are coming out and eating. I don't just want them to survive I want them to thrive. If they are always hiding I don't think they are.

I will give them a try although when the pellets sink the barbs just follow them down and pick away at them. I will also try the lights out idea. Do you think getting a few more might deter the barbs by leveling the playing field? Thanks!

Thank you! It's a work in progress :)

Ohhh I think I’ve figured it out ?

Hmm, I only see where I can add by URL not directly :(

How can I post a picture?

Thank you! :)

Thanks you for the advice. I already feed the flake followed by the pellets but the barbs are all over the pellets. I just tried to do it on opposite ends of the tank and it didn't help. :(

Good Morning, I'm new to the whole fish keeping thing, but loving it! Who knew there was so much to know! I have a 55 gallon freshwater tank with a Penguin 350 filter that currently homes 10 zebra danios, 6 gold barbs are 3 peppered cories (getting 3 more cories as soon as my fish store has more).

Hello, In my 55g tank I have 10 zebra danios, 6 gold barbs and 3 peppered cories. Over the last few days I have noticed the cories are hiding behind the plants and not being very active. I feed them flake as well as pellets that drop but what the cories come out to feed the barbs are right...
