I have a Molly that was in a 15 gallon tank and looks just terrible. He sits on the bottom and comes up for air alot. His tail is also sagging a bit. He's eating just fine. I also have another Molly plus other fish in the tank who are just doing great so it is just this fish.
I initally thought it was old age (I've had him about 8 months) but someone suggested that Patch is not thriving because he should be in a brackish tank. I know that now but didn't 8 months ago. I can't put salt in the 15 gallon, because I have cory cats.
In any event, I moved Patch over to a six gallong tank and added a little over 1/2 tablespoon of salt. I'm not sure I can put him there permantly but should I be adding more salt to bring back his health?
