Aquarium Advice Addict
One of my six new Cherry Barbs is much more thin than the other fish, and appears that his dorsal fin can not go up all the way. He is about 1.5 inches long. He tries to keep up with the other fish, but is too slow almost every time. He looks like he is moving his fins just as fast, but he is swimming much slower (if that makes sense). The Bard spends most of this time at the bottom of the tank, while the other fish swim all over the tank is group. I am pretty attached to the fish, because I feel really bad watching him try to keep up all the time. I was wondering what everyone else does if they get a fish that is less than expected and might be injured or sick. Do people try to help the fish, or is it common to return it for a better fish?
