Hi, yesterday i did a big water change on my tank and stupidly forgot to plug my heater back in, the temp must have droped quite quickly. All my fish seem ok appart from one Molly which is now swimming almost upside down and struggling to swim around the tank, its now by the heater with is head pointing down :sad: .
Lat time my molly had swim bladder i gave him a pea each day and upped the temp slightly and after a few days he was fine, this one seems a lot worse and when i feed them peas she struggles to swim to the bottom to get them so i cant get peas into her.

Is there anything else i can do?
 
You may need to put it in a quarantine tank at the moment and treat it with some swim bladder treatment (i use interpet). With the feeding problem you could hold the small piece of mashed peas in your hand and dip it in near the top and your molly may feed from your hand :good:
