Hi, hoping I’m putting this in the right place.
One of my Molly’s had her fry today, we found them this afternoon in the floating fry grass. We moved them to their own tank and all look good except one.
The one in question is acting perfectly fine, but has a very sunken belly. I know sunken bellies could mean parasites, but is that still possible in a newborn fry when none of the others or the mom seem to be affected? Not sure what to do about this one. Could it just be a defect?
Thanks!
 
Yea i would imagine its a deformaty the fry may grow out of it by fatting her up but i would just observe them over the next 2 months
 
Birth defect probably but yes a lot of diseases are already in the tank.
But it won't effect healthy fish, but once they get weaker it wil.
Or when they get born weaker than the rest...
 
Okay, that’s what I figured. I’ll just keep an eye on him. Thank you all!
