My favorite molly unfortunately passed away today and I was wondering if he passed away from old age or a disease so I could treat the aquarium with the correct medicine. I think he was around 2 years old and his scales were duller then I first got him. For weeks he would always rest on the substrate after he eats and he wouldn't swim around much. Yesterday when I went up to feed my fish, he would eagerly come up but he wouldn't eat anything which I thought was weird because I thought old fishes would just be more lethargic.
I had a fish that died from septicemia but I put him into a hospital tank. I fear that it might've spread before I put him into the hospital tank or maybe I'm just paranoid.
Water parameters:
Ammonia- 0
Nitrite- 0
Nitrate-20
pH - 7
Tank size - 50 gallons
Now that I typed this thing out I think he died of old age instead of a disease but I want to check with you guys to make sure.
The first picture is when I first got him and the second picture was yesterday
