Aquarium Advice Regular
I've worked at Petsmart for only about a month, so I don't know too much about issues like this. I found 3 baby mollies in one of our tanks 5 days ago and took them home to raise them. One of them died that night, one has been a little piggy and has been swimming around looking happy and healthy, and one has pretty much stayed at the bottom looking skinny, and I've expected it to die any day now.
Of course, starting this morning, the healthy one is now swimming with his tail up. From the bit of research I've done, it sounds like it's a swim bladder infection caused by constipation...one person said theirs had a white string coming out instead of the red string of poop that's usually there but I hadn't seen anything like that yet. Lo and behold, that is now happening to mine.
Is there ANYTHING I can do to save him? I know it's just one fry, but it's kind of a bummer that he was doing SO well and now he's probably going to die.
