PLEASE HELP, i have an urgent problem! ? my favorite molly, a male gold dust lyretail, seems to have whirling disease!!! i have no idea how because he was fine yesterday! i read that i should QT him right away or it will affect all of my other fish! i have him in a separate bowl right now, but i don't have a spare filter so i don't know what to do! please help? do i have to euthanize him? if so i don't know the best way to do it and i don't know if i'll be able to. i just am so upset i don't know how this happened and i hate seeing him like this! pleeease respond if you have ANY advice at all. i really need help here.

he has no markings on him, but he is doing flips and spins in the water and especially when he goes up for air. he also just keeps twitching
 
I'm so sorry! I just recently heard about whirling disease. I saw a video on YouTube, I've never seen anything like it. I'm really sorry for your loss. I wish I could've helped.
