Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior): My silver balloon mollie is swimming on her side round & round in circles, i have moved her into my breeding trap as she was getting stuck in things in the tank, she is still eating if she circles the right way & i have put some mushed shelled peas in with her, she has been odd for around a week now, it started with her struggling to swim down but it passed then she had difficulty in swimming up but that passed & to be honest i thought she was taking the mickey out of me as if i watched her from a distance she seemed fine but if i got close to the tank she would become worse, she really is struggling now she can swim up & down but it is on her side & difficult for her! I really need some advice as my partner will be home at 6 & we'l have to dash to the LFS before it closes!!!
