Default Black Molly floating around weird.

One of my Black Molly's seems to have lost the ability to remain upright.
The fish seems to have plenty of life left but for the last week everytime I
look at the fish its either straight up and down or trying to keep from
floating upside down. Anyone know why this might be happening?

might have a blockage
try feeding it spirulina flake or a peeled frozen pea
or ya could add some epson salt and see if that helps
1 teaspoon per 20L for starters
will boost ya GH a bit, can help.
