  1. Newest fish I have put in was a ballon Molly I got about 2 months ago was also the last fish I’ve had die (I found it dead today but it had been acting weird for the last two days) no sunken belly fish. I use a sponge filter.  As for the rapid breathing I don’t think it is.  It’s not breathing or flaring its mouth more than the others. I don’t think it’s gasping. I never saw the ballon Molly gasping either it was rather kinda floating at the top barely responding to me putting my hand in the water or resting on a leaf or bottom with its nose pointed up

  2. The cardinal tetra is trying not to stay floating at the top almost like it’s a swim bladder issue but it dosnt look bloated 

    Like it can’t help but not float. I see it swimming towards the bottom but it just floats right back up as soon as it stops swimming

  3. The other day I noticed one of my fish either sitting at the bottom or top. It was just the one. Now two days later it’s dead and one more fish is bobbing at the top still alive. None of the other fish are doing that tho. Doing a 50% water change right now. Water perimeters before water change where 10ppm nitrate 0 nitrite 150 hardness, 80-120 kh, 7.6 ph, 0 chlorine.  The first fish that Dora’s was a balloon Mollie and the one floating now is a cardinal tetra. Tetra is being very lethargic barely responding to anything. Any help for possible diagnosis or solutions would be appreciated also water temp 80f.

  4. Yesterday I added some plants in pots with a root tab in the rock wool to an established tank, but today I tested the water and found 1ppm of nitrite could this be because I added too many plants with root tabs all at once?  I have done a 25% water change.  what are some other things I could do.   

    I added 10 plants with root tabs to a 20gal long.

     

  5. I have just gotten some new plants for a new tank I'm about to start,  But I ordered them early because the plant I wanted went out of stock and once it was back in stock I got it.  I do not Have the new tank just yet (I should have it in at least a week).  I have the new plants currently in an already established tank in the pots with rock wool and a root tab in the rock wool. I was wanting some feed back to see if that is a good way to store the plants till I can get them into their own tank.  the plants I bought include water sprite, some crypts, A queen sword, scarlet temple, and monte carlo.  Any impute would be appreciated. Thank you.
