DIEING FISH, NEED HELP!

#1
my 2 mollys died in the past 2 days, now i think another is on its way... they seem to wobble at times, act normal, then die! whats going on?! i thought it was somthing with a swim bladder, but can it spread to other fish? i also found it odd that its been only the mollys in my tank, i have remaining one balloon molly (not acting right) 3 guppys, 3 neon tetras, and one cory catfish! last week i added my liquid CO2, but i dont think its that because why would it happen now after all these days? HELP FAST! :( :eek:

Adding a bubble wand is the right thing to do, for now. If they are getting too much CO2 in the water, they usually perk up after a few hours with extra air going in.

You really, really, need to get pH and KH test kits so you can monitor the CO2 you're adding. :)

Did bubble wand help? I don't know if you're still having problems, but if it was something with the swim bladder the fish would probably have a hard time swimming right side up. From what i've heard and read swimming bladder disease is not contagious. If not it could be live bearer's disease. By wobbling do you mean waggel back and fourth or not swimming right side up? Swimming bladder disease can appear and kill quickly. It can also kill slowly depending on how well the fish battles the disease. Anyway just seeing if I can help if help is still needed.
