Mollie Question

[fantails.bettas]

I have a balloon mollie who had babies and I had them for a short while and they all died and would like to know what I did wrong?

I have a dalmation mollie and I have 4 small videos to show so that you can see what he does and he used to swim around and now he just does this. His dorsal is down also.

Video 1

Video 2

Video 3

Video 4

It is difficult to say why he is staying at the bottom as it can be a signal of many different type of illness.

However, my first reaction after watching Video 3 is that he may be very very stressed due to the lack of plants, hiding places and coverage. Due to the tank having no substrate/wood/plants for him to hide in if he wishes, this may have caused him stress as he has been unable to get away when frightened by other occupants/things outside the tank. Try to get a few more of these things (if of course, this is his permanent home) and he will feel less stressed. A less stressed fish is a happier and healthier fish.

Why's the tank so bare?

I like you gave them a cave to hide in that's see through...
