Hey guys, not sure if this classes as a fish emergency, but i have a green barb that doesn't seem to be growing (maybe shriking).
I have 12 barbs, 6 tiger and 6 green all in a 62g, all added at the same time around 1 month ago.
All the rest seem to be growing fine apart from this one little guy and he ssems to swim around on his own.

The first picture is the size of the rest amd the second is the little guy.

Any ideas what could be happening?

Does he eats normally or stressed by others?
 
I have never notices any not eating so i will keeo a closer eye when i feed later, i have just noticed him getting nipped a little off another barb., but i dont know how often it happens.
 
Haha no problem, unfortunately its died now, started struggling to swim and stay upright then died
 
It looks like a green Tiger barb. I don't know much about them though.
It is a green tiger barb.

For the OP, it probably had intestinal worms. They drink the blood out of the fish and the fish wastes away. Eventually the fish die from low blood pressure caused by lack of blood.
