I have a balloon molly that, for lack of a better term, is suffering from some type of condition.

She doesn't flash, no clamped fins, eats well, breathes well.

Tank mates are: a female gold dust Molly, a pair of sunset platies, 4 juvie green swordtails , 7 neon tetras , one oto cat. And an army of unidentified baby snails. Tank planted with water sprite and java moss.

Water parameters: ph 6.8-7.0 temp 78-82 ammonia 0. Unfortunately don't have a nitrate-nitrite kit. I have to restock.

I run 2 HOB filters. An Aqueon 55 and an Aquaclear 50.

I'm attaching pics of the Molly. I desperately want to quarantine her but my 5 gallon is packed with platy fry at the moment.

Well I couldn't figure out in time what was ailing her and she has passed.

She was a very docile fish who liked to nibble on me while doing water changes. All I can do is keep a close eye on my other guys. I'll be doing another PWC as soon as possible.
