Neither. She didn't eat so probably not just playing, and seems like she chooses to be thereDoes it look like she is being sucked into the intake? Or does it look like she is just playing?

It's a typical color for a female rosy barb. It's older than a month and the amonia/nitrit are really low so Cycles is probably not the reasonWeak fish get pulled toward filter suction, there's something wrong with the fish, you can tell by the very pale color.
How long has the tank been set up, how was it cycled, and how long have you had the barbs?
What are the actual readings? Ammonia and nitrite should be zero. Any reading above zero, even if it is low, is harmful to fish.the amonia/nitrit are really low
She's suffering from ammonia/nitrite poisoning, if that's the caseIt's a typical color for a female rosy barb. It's older than a month and the amonia/nitrit are really low so Cycles is probably not the reason
Never tested ammonia and got my sticks 2 weeks after getting the tank. Sorry, can't tellNitrite looks to be zero, but test strips don't include ammonia. Do you have a tester for that?
Has there ever been a reading above zero for ammonia or nitrite at any time you got the fish?
