MY Molly Jolly

[sugarbear001]

This morning I went to check on my babies and found my tri colored molly jolly was at the top of the tank belly up as was one of my ghost shrimp.... so called my LFS and she said bring em in and I will give you replacements... they are floating used now to get to my tank temp which is at 78-79*

Sorry to hear


You might want to find the problem before you get some replacements. Obviously there is something wrong so i would do all you can to make sure the water is safe before you get anymore fish!

How long has you tank been set up for? Sounds like it could be a cycling issue.

it was an established tank when i got it 2 or 3 weeks ago, half the water was taken out before transfering tank to my house filled it back up and added dechlorinator and anmonia out, it only had a algea eater and 30 some odd guppies, got rid of most of the guppies have 5 in there and got the 2 molies and 3 ghost shrimp getting a good filter system with heater wednesday when hubby gets paid temp has remaind a constant 79*

I thought you said when you got it, it didn't have a filter?? If it didn't have a filter and then you added one, the tank is most likely cycling. I don't know how all of those fish were living w/o one.


Edit: hmm...maybe I read that wrong, there still isn't even a filter in there? How often are you doing water changes?

water changes every other day 45% did have a filter with heating system from the dark ages
