Please Read For The Sake Of My Fish

[James From Cali]

My female Rosy Barb is swimming more to her side and her back has a green tint. I dont know if its because she is carrying eggs, she seems very agitated and stressed. Her gills are rapidly moving and her tail is strait up. What should I do? She is also swimming very rapidly around, please help. I really dont want to lose her.

 

[James From Cali]

She seems to have a twitching in her tail. I am getting worried. Should I use a tank divider?

 

[James From Cali]

She seems more calm after I separated them but still has a green tint and tail in the air.

Have you tested the water? Did you drip acclimate her?

 

[James From Cali]

Not yet on testing the water. But wouldnt my other fish act the same way? Drip acclimating is when you drip water from your tank into the bucket/bag with your new fish right? If so then yes.

I'm not really clear on the story here. Is it a new fish?

Go check your water.... Now!

I checked my water and ammonia and nitrite was at 0, nitrate was at 5. She is completely on her side, I feel as if there is nothing I can do. 9I just wish I know what it could be.
