I have 2 salmenese tiger fish and two smaller fish in approximately 3.5 L bowl. I bought them on 1 April. 3 act normal but one act abnormal from first day. One salmenese tiger fish doesn't move much first it stayed at bottom now it's gapping at surface and if I try to catch to check it it goes down again. It's fins are turning red or I don't know if it already was. I don't understand how to help. Parents are out town so I can't go to shop. I am not sure if all are eating food.

Black molly with a white spot near the anal fin. Is she pregnant
Hi, I had a bettas fish and a clown pleco. A day after doing a complete cleaning of the tank, my better fish died and my pleco started acting weird. I tested the water. Ph 7, ammonia 0, nitrate 0, nitrite 0. He is not eating, his skin started to look like white, like shedding? And now is like coming off. Also, his belly is bloated. I attached pictures.
What type of saltwater fish can I have in a 10 gallon tank
How to introduce betta fish to neon tettra, guppies
I want Angel Alvarado to answer this question. What fish can i put in a 3 gallon tank besides shrimp. If I have to get neon tetras please tell me how to change their water. Thanks
I noticed 2-3 of my neon tetras have very few tiny spots on the top of their body and or tail, that are a white color. I noticed it tonight and wanted to know if anything is wrong with them. Their behavior hasn’t changed at all from how they act since I’ve gotten them a week or two ago. Should I be worried?
