The neverending story: Something is wrong with my fish. Just noticed that one of my tiger barbs was looking odd. It seems his pelvic and anal fins are looking ragged. The other barbs look fine. What's going on??

There is most likely some fin-nipping going on. Tiger barbs are notorious for this.

This certainly crossed my mind but why is it just the pelvic and anal fins, while the tail fin is intact?!

Don't really know why that is the spot they go for but its the same with my tiger barbs, they never go for the tail fin, just the anal and pelvic fins.

Help!!!!

My poor tiger barb is having a hard time of it... He's straining to swim and his movements seem peculiar. It looks like what I've just witnessed is this little fishy throwing up?!? I don't have another tank set up to put him in... what do I do????
