Itchy Balloon Molly

[boxman]

I have a young balloon molly that seems to have puffy gills and keeps rubbing itself against the weed - it definately doesn't seem itself.

Does this sound like flukes? What treatment (from UK) would be recommended?

Thanks

I would love to give you an answer but I have had the good luck never to have had this problem but I have found this article which may help you diagnose flukes.

Something is wrong yes puffy gills and flicking sound like gill flukes, are they also red and inflamed, and heavy breathing.
