That happened to me last year, I had 1 day each day till all 5 were dead, kept doing water tests and everything was in check.

Sorry for your losses. Tiger barbs are really fun to watch.

Tiger barbs are pretty hardy....They are best kept in groups of 5 or more as they are a schooling fish. Smaller groups will result in fighting with the largest pestering the others sometimes till death. Prolly not what happend to you though did you see damage?

they lost all there color than all of them looked like they got the s**t kicked out of them so i watched the tank for like 2 hours and nobody bothered them

was your tank fully cycled before they were added?

How often do you change the water?

Is water temperature set properly?

Are there other fish in with them?

lots of questions but somebody on here will have answers for you.
