Aquarium Advice FINatic
60g tank (upgraded from 10g 2 mths ago)
0 trites
very low trates
0 ammonia
A few weeks ago I noticed a molly looking listless at the bottom of the tank. I was worried but then he seemed to perk back up again and has seemed fine since then. Today he is listless again and I can see his belly is swollen and his scales are noticeable when they were not before. His breathing is labored.
I think I am going to have to euthanize him because my QT has new fish in it (I have no other tank), he seems pretty far gone already and I don't want the others to get sick. Thoughts on that?
Also do you think stress from the move caused this? I read online it's something they get as a result of stress usually from poor water conditions but I do PWC of around 30-40% weekly. I feed good food (omega one).
So 2 questions:
1. Do you agree I should euthanize if he looks really sick already, I have no QT and no meds for him (and can't get them for another day or 2) and don't want the others to get sick also.
2. Any ideas what caused this?
