Barreling Fish Epidemic D:

so this thread is about my little sisters tank its a 10 gal. but id DID happen to one of my fish one time.. so she has these glass fish and mollys, yesterday one of the glassfish was swimming but it wouldn't be able to stay straight so it would kinda just barrel roll around and this morning i found it dead and now the other glass fish is barreling around. [scratch that it just died ] but the mollys are perfectly fine and the pleco and the crab are both fine. i thought maybe it could be because the tank wasnt cycled but then wouldnt the ammonia mess with the mollys? the ph is decent its around 7.6ish i dont have nitrate nitrite testers so i cant tell ya there. im just confused theyre not painted glassfish and they came from my 55gal so i know they were clean as a whistle.. ph burn maybe?? mine has a bit lower ph. could it be something to do with the temperature its been nice and warm and then last night it rained and now the tank is suuuper cold [yes i know she needs a heater] idk its obviously to late to save them but id still like to know why. and yes i know i need to buy proper testers but right now im workin on gettin money for a good heater so i can put my cheezy one in her tank since its doin next to NOTHIN for my tank

Your fish are having trouble swimming, it sounds like. It could be swim bladder problems, the cold temperature in the tanks, or parasites. In a worst case scenario it could be whirling disease, which is caused by a parasite.
