Black Molly

[xena_00_uk]

looks like my black molly might have a digestion problem, swimming erratic and bottom down. Any emergency things i can do? i tried feeding her peas?

Need size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph.

Them questions are important as bad water quality can cause the symtoms.

100 litre.... ph, nitrate etc normal but did it with a paper test so never that accurate. I have 2 mollys, angel, 2 zebras and a dwarf guorami

No liquid test kits are the best.
Added any new fish or plants in the last week.
Any signs of flicking and rubbing on ojects, gasping at the surface.
Does she look bloated and any colour change in the fish.

 

[xena_00_uk]

nope, no changes at all... doesnt appear gasping but is listless.. swimming almost verticle

She's not right, can you issolate her.
To be honest i think she not going to make it.

I would do a water change to be on the safe side,
As standing on the tail and darting can be due to poor water quality.
