May be tired, stressed , or bullied by Someone. Or he might not enjoy being rejected by the females.

Well hes better now i was just concerned caise he is my little brothers so i didnt want it to die

Ok now im scared. He wont do any thing and he will just let him self be carried up be the bubbles from the aireator. I think his swim bladder is not right. I cured a betta and i just gave him very fresh water and time. Any tips on the molly plz im very concerned. My little brother is five so he will be very sad if his fish dies

I don't think anyone asked this but what are your levels? (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, Ph)

Idk i did a water change after words but i dont think tgey are bad cause it only affected this fish. Sadly he passed away before i could treat him. but i think it was his swim bladder
