Hi, I have a 20g tall tank with 5 green tiger barbs, 2 albino barbs and a koolie loach. One albino barbs has been having buoyancy issues for more than a month now. It all began the day I found the tank at 82 degrees (versus 74) due to a faulty heater. This albino has its days where he spins and swim upside down for hours, then he acts normal. I have vary the diet with flakes, frozen shrimp brine, dried blood worms, and algae wafers. I feed them twice per day. I tried peas and cucumber but they never touched it. Well this fish seems very weak today, I feel his pain, he is getting stuck and hits everything. Any suggestions as what I should do?? The water levels are normal, although PH has been a bit high since last year at 7.8. I have live plants and a 30g/hour filter. Please help!! Thank you in advanced.
