1~My male yellow Balloon Molly, stared sitting at the bottom of the tank, near the heater and began to lose color over the past few hours.
2~ 7.8pH, .1ppm TAN / ~.002 free ammonia, 0ppm Nitrites, ~40ppm Nirtates.
3~ 10g tank, set up for some time, although I think it may have cycled after a move 2 months ago, but it been established by a previous owner before then.
4~ I think it's a Whisper, with a Biobag... been in there for 2 weeks.
5~I've got 3 mollies, a platy and a 3 guppies. I also have a breeder net with some fry in it. I know it's a tad overstocked, but not by much.
6~I just cleaned the biobag, did a 30% water change and vacuumed the gravel Saturday. I do this kind of maintenance weekly.
7~I've had the fish for almost 2 months. They've gone through some ups and downs as the pH was too low last week (below 6) and I had to buff it... but everything seemed to have sorted out by Saturday.
8~The only thing I did was break up my Elodea, which had gotten really long, into separate strands, bound them with plastic-coated twisties, and planted the new bundles around the tanks. I don't think this is it, but could the twisties be to blame? The original elodea strand is darker and has a brown streak in it? Is it dying / decaying?
9~I've fed them the same food for the past 2 months. It's granular, supposed to enhance color.
