I have 6 Green Tiger Barbs 2 platyes, and 1 dwarf guorami. My 29 gallon tank is just under a month old. It is currently still cycling. I now know that some people think it is cruel to cycle with fish, but I don't really have a choice now. I was told when I bought the fish that they would be fine. This was from a very popular local aquarium store. Anyway, currently ammonia is at 0 and nitrites are at about .5 ppm. I already did a 15% water change today. When I got home today, I noticed that the smallest green tiger barb was swimming alone near the top of the water. He is very lethargic and seems to have little white dots all over him. They look almost like bubbles. All of the other fish are fine. Is this a result of nitrite poisoning? Is it some type of parasite? Is this contagious? Thanks for any help you can provide.

I believe that tiger barbs and platyes are compatible. The barbs don't really bother them at all. I think they swim fast enough to avoid the nips.
