	Barbs Up to No Good (Again)...
Silver_Fish Hobbyist Posts: 73 Kudos: 30 Votes: 0 Registered: 23-Aug-2006	Hey All, I had a quick question. I woke up this morning and fed my fish, as usual, but something caught my eye. In my barb tank, one of my arulius barbs was missing his entire tail fin, and it looked like his tail itself had been picked at. I don't understand this sudden attack on him; all of these fish have been together at least 2 months, and when all fish were introduced to one another, there were mini mock battles but nothing this serious. What's going on, do you think, and what should I do about it? Thanks for your advice! -SF
