Aquarium Advice Regular
Hello everyone!
I recently got two little mollies, a male and female, placed the other day in my 20 gallon to join a julii catfish and orocinclus. They've been energetic, exploratory, and good to each other. Second day, I just returned to the tank after 15 minutes and the female was outside on the counter tile, flopped once to gain my attention! I picked her up by the tail muscle and put her in as gently as I could (panicking!). Her gills were not bleeding or anything and she was breathing fine once put back in, but she had a bubble of blood on the top of her head, a single scale poking out also on her head, and some blood speckling on the side of her head (not at the gills). She went and hid in a dark place, understandably, and has survived the night. This morning she is still moving slow and hiding here and there, and now she seems to be shivering. The other fish are leaving her alone, so it's not them. I plan on getting Melafix today at the store but won't be home from work until late tonight.
Is Eve going to be okay?
