Possible Case of Fish TB!! Help PLZ!!

That fish looks emaciated to me. Does it eat? It might have intestinal parasites, but if it's not eating you're not going to be able to feed it the medicated food it would need to get better.

Watch it's anal area closely, Camallanus worms are the only thing that ever made my fish look that bad.

BUT it's still entirely possible you just got bad stock, and didn't notice until you got it home. Which is why I said to always check the bag first, since it is not unusual to end up with a defective fish. Has happened to me on several occasions.

I only saw the one fish at the beginning, btw. Your video keeps stopping to buffer for me.

Thanks for the info, I must have gotten a bad one and didn't know, they all look kinda sad, uncolored and all had beaten up fins in the store... sorry about the buffering, I haven't had a problem with youtube before. The video might just have to fully load. The second fish that i am watching is the last one i go to for a few moments, his tail fin is kinda lower than his body due to his bent backbone... he seems to be fine and is eating well with the rest so I'm not too worried but if yo spot anything let me know please! Thanks for the help thus far!

Awaiting some Blue Tiger Shrimp next week for my 3 gallon! cant wait! Very excited!

sorry about your fish dude
 
Thats alright, I moved some moss from the tank into my new blue tiger shrimp tank and saw a fry swimming around! time to get some fry food! I'm pretty sure he is one of the Threadfins because they go crazy all the time! Now the tricky part! keeping him alive!! and I also have 5 other males that are much nicer than he was! Thanks for the concern though and the information!
