Hi all,
I have a white balloon belly molly who is sick for last 2-3 days..
symptons-
day1- saw him scratching on hard objects in tank...quarantined him to another tank which was being set up
day2- he started staying on the bottom of the tank, stopped eating food too
day 2 evening- saw him swimming (???) heads down (whirling aimlessly) in the tank 1-2 times. Late at night he even started discharging white poop (transparent)...must have done the whole day, i noticed only at night
Consulted at LFS (in the afternoon) and the guy there suggested medicine by the name CLOUT. Added that to tank as mentioned on the packet.
saw another female molly scratching against hard objects and quarantined her to the above tank
day 3- still at the bottom of the tank, not eating any food. Female molly looks normal, eats properly, and behaves normal-fearless
Water parameters-
In the first tank the ammonia level were bit off (like .05 to 1.0), was changing water regularly (25%)
have added salt to the tank too.
Its a new tank, set up 2 weeks back
All the other fish in the tank are behaving properly
what should I do now?
Fishy love
