Silver Molly Acting Weird

[omordn]

Hello,

I was feeding my fish and I realized that my silver molly was nowhere to be found. I spotted my fish and I noticed that it was acting really weird. I noticed two things:

1. it looks like a red dot on its forehead but I looked at it closer and it kind of looks like its entire head on the inside (brain?) looks a little reddish. I'm only describing it as a red dot because it's more simple. This is the only place that I noticed the redness in.

2. It is also hiding or laying on one of my live plants and when I scared it... I noticed it swam weird. The head is facing up while the tail is downward.

Can anyone please help me with this?

Thanks.

Do you think you could get a picture of this. What's its tank mates, and do they have any similiar symptoms?

Hi There,

Thank you for your reply. And sorry, I cannot get a picture because I don't have a camera. Here is my tank:

28 gallon
1 live plant
2 lava rocks
2 gourami's
2 red platies
2 mollies: silver and black
2 albino plecos

My water parameters are good too: Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0, and Nitrate 0. Temperature is 80 degrees.

It seems to me like my silver molly is stressed out. Do you think it wants to mate? It's been hiding a lot and does not have any apetite.

Yeah.. my molly is hiding. It's been hiding under the live plant I have. I'm scared =/
