Hi. I am new to aquariums, have only had one for about 2 months.
It is 180 litres about 40 gallons. I have 3 platys,2 mollies,6 neon tetras,2 marbled angels and 5 sucking catfish and one silver shark. I have a few plants (water wisteria, anubias,swordplant and some reed like plants) I have tested water for ph , ammonia and nitrites and all are correct I am told by pet shop. Ph is 7.2,ammonia 0 ppm, nitrite 0 ppm. Nitrite was up high about 2 weeks ago but I got it down in 2 days by not feeding and adding a purigen biological filter bag to the filter. The water is 25.0 degrees Celsius. I have lost 1 Mollie, found dead in morning about a week ago, its gills were moving rapidly for about 2 weeks before this. Another Mollie is looking sick, It is not rapidly moving its gills but it is lethargic, lies on bottom of tank most of time and moves slowly. It also seems to bump into things , like ornaments or the bottom of the tank. I cannot see anything on its body like spots or wounds as described in books and articles I have seen. It seems to have trouble feeding, the other fish take food very rapidly and come back for more. This one has small bits of fish flakes and sometimes spits them back out. The other Mollie often chases this one away from it particularly when being fed. I have Isolated the sick looking one in one of those floating plastic enclosures so the other Mollie cannot harass it and so it can get to the food I give it. What can I do to help it? I don't want to loose another one. |
