There were just 3 males, no females. The tank has been set up for about 4 months. There were no fish for the first month. Before I bought the fish I took a water sample to the shop and they said it had cycled. In the first week I put some bacterial solution in as well to help the cycling - think...
Yesterday one of my mollies died. He was at the bottom of the tank breathing rapidly in a c shape for about 2 hours before he died. The previous day he was his usual self.
Today another of my mollies died. He was fine the day before and even this morning was swimming round happily but at most...

I'm new to fish keeping and set up my tank a few weeks ago. I've followed all the shop recommendations and they have been very helpful. I have 3 mollies and some live plants. Everything was fine until I found a snail, and then another and them another. The plant must have been infested with the...
