Tank size: 29 gallon
Specific gravity: 1.005
tank temp: 76 F
Fish Symptoms: Female dalamation mollie, she is staying upright but can't seem to use her tailfin, almost as though its paralyzed. She has been like this for about 5 days now, the first 3 days she attempted to eat but it seems more and more difficult for her to do so (I'm afraid she'll eventually stave to death). She can still swim around the tank using all of her other fins but it seems to tire her out, so she spends most of the time propped on her dorsal fins on the bottom of the tank. It all started around the time that I started the ICK treatment; fortunately the ICK is at least gone. For a while there I just thought she was pregnant but here symptoms seem a little strange/prolonged to me. There is no visible rot or growths anywhere on her body and she seems otherwise healthy. Any ideas anyone?
