How can you tell if a tiger barb is sick?

Answer 1

You can tell if a tiger barb is sick by observing changes in behavior and appearance. Signs of illness may include lethargy, loss of appetite, abnormal swimming patterns (such as staying near the surface or hiding), and physical symptoms like discoloration, frayed fins, or visible lesions. Additionally, watch for signs of distress, such as rapid gill movement or isolation from other fish. Regular monitoring of water parameters and tank cleanliness can also help prevent illness.
