Albino Tiger Barb

[MrJolly]

I have 6 Tiger Barbs and 5 Ablino Tiger barbs in my tank. One of the albino barbs is always pointing down. It does straighten up for short periods but then goes back to pointing down and just stays amongst the plants. It is also paler than the others. Could this be a swim bladder infection or could it be anything else? All the other fish in the tank are fine.

I have a Tiger Barb which is doing the same thing, but it always does it beside the heater.Not sure why.

it is a male or female?

males will hang vertically to impress/attract females.

the best way of sexing TB's is
males have a very red nose and the front edge of the dorsal
fin is also red, no red means female.

It's a female and it's been like this for about 4 days now.
