I'm starting up a 23 gallon freshwater aquarium, and in January purchased three Colombian tetras, which are perfectly healthy. I made sure the water quality was perfect, then purchased a Dalmatian Molly and a Blue Grommi at my local fish store. The grommi has been very good, and I poured the recommended dosage for Nitromax concentrated bacteria over my biofilter. The Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate are all at 0. The pH is 8.0, however my fish don't seem to be bothered. Tonight I noticed my Dalmatian Molly flipping randomly into a vertical position, while trembling. I did some research and discovered that, no, my fish is not pregnant because my fish is male. Whew! However I have yet to discover any articles that describe and solve my problem. Again, I know for a fact that this fish is male, and all fish have been doing great. He doesn't outwardly show signs of illness, and water levels are perfect. I keep the tank at 75 degrees ferenheit. Thank you for your time and I hope that some of you can give me some answers! Have a great day,
