chelle, do u think my tiger barb is ok ...??


another thing about him is he goes in the same spot near the same plant and stays still when i turn the light on and when i turn the light off, he swims normally.... :| :| :| :| :|

 

oh so my help isnt good enough!!! lol im just kiddin

 

lol lauren, nothing against u .... im just trying to get info from different ppl

 

I think he looks normal. He's probably still fairly young so he hasn't gotten his full coloring yet. And as for the hiding, he may just be acting shy. If you just recently got him, he could still be getting used to his new environment. Just keep an eye on him and unless he starts showing some really stressed/sick behavior (laying on side, looking extremely pale, gasping, etc) I wouldn't worry too much.

I agree that fish just doesnt look amture yet..females fins lack much if any of the red coloring seen on males..so that may be it.
