Balloon Mollie Not So Good

[omega59]

I placed one of my female balloon mollies in the divider part of the tank and she is not well. currently she is sitting at the bottum of the tank and what appears to be breathing funny. I just finished a treatment of ich and the other fish are fine. Now this mollie was fine during the process as well she just started doing this yesterday night. Is she going to die? there are no physical signs of ich or anything on her.

OMG she is now trying to swim and goes upside down and all around! help!

Did you test the water quality at all? Many things could have caused the odd breathing, although the fish got a swimbladder disorder in the end.

water stats are showing fine here. she was one of the new mollies had her for 3 weeks.

Well internal bacteria can cause swimbladder problems, its possible that she was carry it and thats what killed her.

okay. i removed her right away so i hope the rest of the fish will be okay.
