About LinkBacksHey guys,
A friend of mind has a cherry barb, that seems to be sitting on the bottom a lot or gasping for air, while other cherry barbs are fine, it doesn't seem to be swimming in open water but always resting. I don't know what the problem is, any idea's?
Thanks

Might be a swim bladder issue. Try feeding blanched peas, thats usually a quick home remedy. Getting water parameters would help the more experienced members here.
