Molly (orange In Colour)

[Shellsbells]

Hi there

Ive posted this message in the beginners section too not realising there was a specific forum for livebearers so apologies if you have seen this post already in the other section.

Anyway ....

We have a molly (orange in colour) and usually "she" has bright red eyes ... however we have noticed over the past few days her eye colour has become more transparent compared to the usual red. "She" doesnt seem to swim around as much as she used to but seems to rather be more wading in the same spot and to me looks like she is gasping for air ... at feeding time "she" shoots like a rocket and gets her grub but other than that she only does as Ive described.

Ive scrutinised "her" as much as I possibly can and all seems in order apart from her eyes becoming faded and she isnt as mobile as usual.

Do you think she is suffering from something?

All water tests are fine and dandy.


Thanks

if shes gasping, that usually means either ammonia poisoning, or lack of oxygen. can u increase aeration?

Do her eyes appear cloudy or opaque? And are you keeping her in salt?
