I have a black molly, it is a male. Some days ago he started to swim strange - his tail is hanged. He is not swiming in the normal horizontal position. He is also apathetic and he is not eating. I had a female of black molly and she had the same simpthoms and finally she died. If you have a clue about this behaviour (or disease), please help me save my fish!

Are they just scratches on the glass, bad photo LOL! or planaria (worms) all over it? If it is planaria, you may want to up your tank maintenance and cut back a bit on feeding.

It is very hard to say, without a bit more info....Could you please supply us with your water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, PH, temp.). Were they new additions or longterm established fish, is it a new tank? What do you normally feed them? What other fish are in the tank?

Livebearers aren't as long lived as many other fish and aren't as hardy as they used to be.

They appear to be just moving airbubbles.
