Balloon Mollie Acting Like She's Drunk!?

[heavenly_d3vi1]

I've just noticed my balloon mollie is swimming around like she's drunk... She seems to be able to swim in the direction she wants, and go up and down fine.. but while doing it she seems to be summersulting uncontrolably... she doesn't have any other marks or symptoms.. the water seems to be fine. What could be wrong with her and is there anything I can do?

Can you post your water stats please.
Is she darting around the tank.
How old is she.
Can she maintain her balance.
Does she look bloated or thin.
Is she swimming fast in circles.

ammonia - 0
nitrite - 0
nitrate - inbetween 0-5
ph - 7.2

I'm not sure how old she is, I've had her for about 2 months. She's not darting, she was just swimming around at a normal pace, but now she's just in the corner sort of spinning slowly in a circle and doesn't seem to have any control, so no to the balance. Her size is as normal. And she loojks like she's gasping now too...

Sounds like she dying to me.
Swimming in circles can mean swim bladder, the fish is dying, brain damage.

Nothing I can do to save her then I guess Thanks for the quick response!

Fish can gasp aswell as there about to die.
Not sounding good at all.

If she looks like she in a really bad way, and you feel like the fish dosn't stand a chance I would end her misery.
