Marshall Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Water parameters are good , tanks at 79f and I do a 30% water change once or twice a week , been battling what looks like a fungus on some other fish but it's been getting better , and then this guy ... Oh this guy recently started flaring alot and pushing my other molly into the corner , I moved the other guy to another tank and about a day later this one is now rubbing it's underside just beneath it's gills on a plant and then nipping at the plants , also no fake plants and first time seeing this behavior , any thoughts ? The molly that did get moved stopped eating a few days ago and is on its last leg , I don't want to bring it back into the community tank because the big guy bully's him , no signs of illness or eradic behavior.

Marshall Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 I have been looking into salt , I put in a table spoon at the last water change which was yesterday , it is a 10 gal tank , I wanted to ease into it . We will wait and see what happens I guess Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quikv6 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Mollies really seem to take well to salt, specifically. I think it is a very sound suggestion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 Update : mollie is much more calm and not rubbing on the plants , other fish look much better however , the molly seems to have developed an issue with it's lip , looked like fungus at one point but today it's gone and now looks like there's a cavity developing , I will try to get a picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
