I've recently upgraded form a 10 gallon to a 30 gallon. The 30 gallon currently has 2 albino corys 4 neon tetra glo fish, 1 platy and 1 neon tetra rainbow. I kept my 10 gallon set up to be used as a hospitality tank to quarantine new fish before putting them in my 30 gallon. I just bought 2 more neon tetra rainbows, 2 platys and 2 molly fish. The parameters in the tank are as followed: ammonia is at about 0.5, nitrites are at 0 and nitrates are at about 15. I just bought the fish yesterday and my male molly seems to be breathing heavy and doesn't seem to be eating. I was looking for signs of ich but I don't see any white spots. Could the fish be sick or overstressed from the move from pet store to the tank? He seems sick and I don't know what to do.
