Molly Swimming Awkwardly

[Puriti]

My creamsicle molly is swimming with her butt kinda wanting to float back up but when she swims, she kind of goes in circles because her body is tilting to the side slightly but she's not totally sideways or anything. I noticed it when I was feeding her and the filter current was making her float around awkwardly. I just noticed it today so it must've just recently happened because the tank is right next to my bed and I check all my fish daily .__. possibly swim bladder? or an infection or something?

None of my other fish in that tank (2 mollies and 3 bettas) are showings signs of anything, just her.

Does sound like a swim-bladder malfunction, and if she is not an old fish, then a bacterial infection is the most likely culprit.

All righty then. I'll have to buy some Maracyn II or something then and give it to her cuz she isn't that old ._.

Thanks Toirtis
