Molly Help

[Mollybreeder]

Hello,

Today i came home from school and found two of my mollies just laying on the bottom of the tank. They are still alive and appear healthy but they hardly swim, and they just balance themselves against the gravel.

Is this ok or should i do something???

Please someone give me advice, this morning he just lays there and doesnt even move when i tap at the glass. Im afraid he is going to die soon...

What is the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH?
Are they eating normally?

If they're having trouble swimming and balancing, they could have swim bladder disease.

Hope this helps.

Thanks but i figured out what the problem was by searching this site. One of my Sailfin mollies had pop eye and was blind. He was bumping into things and couldnt get any peace from the other fish so i had to put him down

He was my breeding male and i really loved that fish since he was the one who kick started my tank cycling, he will be missed....
