Very lethargic Molly

[David C. Stone]

I have a very lethargic Molly, which is spending virtually all
its time sitting on the bottom. No sign of spots, redness,
bulging eyes, and it does it if food is available (I just isolated
it to the quarantine tank.)

Any ideas?

Any good sites on identifying and treating fish diseases?

Thanks...

Start by warming the quarantine to 80F, gradually adding salt over the
next 24 hours until it's at 1 tbsp/gallon, and adding a dose of
Aquarisol (copper). Often that will do the trick.
