possible disease?
I own a tiger barb that has been decreasing in size since i've had it. Its belly looks almost concave and it just looks sickly. Lately i've noticed that it's been swimming in circles and loops and corkscrews and turning upside down like crazy, it's acting very uncharacteristic. Is there some chance it may have a disease?

I own 5 other tiger barbs and they all look healthy and have been slowly getting bigger.

Hi!

Sounds like a bad case of swim-bladder. There isn't really anything you can do - I've had this disease many times and never cured it.
