Is the tank cycled? what are your water readings? (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, ph) that will help us determine the possible cause for sickness. sometime the rapid breathing can be an indication of high ammonia levels. But the best advice I can give without the readings is water changes. Sometimes doing a water change can help the fish tremendously.

Just done a 20 litre change on a 100 litre tank. Not change the water for about 3 weeks as I have badly injured my back ju

Sent without finishing. Only got 6 fish in the tank so thought the water would be ok. Changed it now anyway. Fingers crossed. Don't have any of the equipment to check water quality. Hopefully the water change I have done will help. Will do another 20 litre change in a couple of days.

Sick Molly has now passed on.
