molly

[nonay]

I just got my first fish and fish tank. I got 2 mollies and its a 2 gallon tank. One molly is really active and eats and looks fine but the other one just sits in the corner and wont eat. He swims around every once in a while and his fins are flapping but he doesnt really eat or do anything. Is he sick or just shy???

That tank isn't big enough really, what are your waters stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, how long have you had the fish.

i dont know any of the stats or anything. ive just had them 2 days.

Do you have a filter in the tank and heater.

 

[nonay]

just a filter and a light

 

[WILDER]

You will need a heater or the tempreture will be up and down causing the fish stress and desease, she might just be stressed due to the move, get some test kits in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, as with a small tank you will have to no your water quality, try a very small water change with declorinator or water conditioner added to it.
