Have a green tiger barb that is pale and losing color. Also it rolls an floats like it is dying but will then swim away. All of the other barbs are doing great. Did notice a raw patch just below the dorsal fin and caught a standard barb pecking away at the area. Let me know if I should quarentine or what I might be looking at.
Thanks

Sorry to hear about your barb. It most likely was attacked by one of the other barbs in your tank. If you could it would be a good idea to quarantine it to another tank, or if you dont have another tank ready maybe you can use a divider in the tank to keep it away from the others. Since it is weak and wounded, the other fish are probably attacking it in its weak state. Poor thing... good luck with it. Hope it makes it. Im sure there are others here who can give some advice on treatment meds.
