Green Tiger Barb Problem

[silicon]

Hi all,

I was wondering if somebody could help me,

I have six green tiger barbs and all appear well except one, it has gone really dark almost black in places and the its belly is really swollen, to the extent that it cant really move off the bottom!

It is still breathing ok but i fear it is doomed,

Could someone please advise asap,

Regards,

Mark

It sounds like the fish has developed a really bad internal infection. Your best bet is to take the fish out and dispatch it. The cleanest way is to put it in a bucket of tank water and pop it in the freezer. The temperature will drop and the fish will die.
Internal problems are hard to treat and once the fish has bloated up and is lieing on the bottom there isn't much you can do.
