My molly has become very quiet and is upside down. What could be the issue?

Question

One of my 2 mollies is upside down in water since yesterday.. I can see its gills moving, so its definitely alive. The other one was trying to continuously push it, so I moved the sick molly to another jar.. It has slightly improved, in the sense that it moves once a while. What could be the reason? Is it dying? I'm feeling really sad :(

Answer 1

Yes i think your fish might be dying. whenever my fish do that they usually die. but ive never had mollies so i dont know.

Answer 2

sorry but most fish dont come back from that, I dont know what it is but whenever my fish do it they die the next day

Answer 3

Swim bladder disorder I think. You can pick up some medicine at petsmart or petco.

Answer 4

1- Let's try using oxygen pumping machine for your tank

2- Don't let the mollies in a deep water level since it's healthier in shallow water level.

3- Keep your mollies in fresh water.

4- Be optimistics when curing your pet (molly) since you have tried your best.

Answer 5
