Fishing Nip
Is my fish is dying or having some kind of seizure?
My little albino tiger barb is behaving almost as if he were having a seizure. He is shaking instead and trying to swim, and then lying at the top of the water, like he is dead, but that he continues shaking, It looks like he can't control himself, and I'm afraid this means he is dying! The other fish are nipping at him too.
Please advice me as to what to do with him! Thank you.
Sadly, he's had a quality shock, and is dealing with a lack of oxygen reaching his brain (similar to a stroke, or seizure, if you will). Something has set him off and that illness will take it's toll in time. He's not able to consciously control his body in that state, and the other fish will actually try and kill him just so they don't contract whatever might have been making him sick. They also want the ill fish gone so it won't attract predators. Cruel indeed, but that's the way of the wild recreated in your aquarium.
Doing a water change, adding some aquarium salt, and adding some stress coat or water conditioner are you best options at this point, but it's a far cry from any effective solution. Hope that helps you out some. Best wishes.
