Green Tiger Barb

[academyy_xx]

I've noticed for the last few days my green tiger barb is spending a lot of time at the top of the tank but my red tail shark and black banded leporinus were still swimming around in their normal patterns. Earlier today I found my tiger barb dead in the tank I'm worried about my other fish now. What should I do?

Ps- i also noticed my. iger barb wasn't as vibrantly green these few days but more black

How many Tiger barbs you have? Size of tank? Water parameters? Feeding and water change schedule?

20 gallons 1 barb 50-75% water changes every Monday

Just one Barb? They need schools of like 7+, and I'm pretty sure red tailed sharks get way too big for your tank.

I would get him some buddies, His color will fade and he will either waste away or start taking out his loneliness by nipping. Get 4 more and see how he is. Bet he'll perk right up
