Silver Lyretail Mollies

[Cyb3rw0lf]

Her tank had three Silver Lyretail Mollies added two days ago, one was constantly hiding in the decor and lying on the bottom while the other two stayed at the top of the tank. The first died this morning apparently and the other two have started similar behavior with a few added symptoms, they cant seem to stay upright and seem to be "gasping", both get active for a few minutes at a time before falling back into the plants or gravel and lying there for a bit....

Just curious what this might be? There is no quarantine tank available and I helped with a LARGE water change.

*sigh* The other two just passed, one went on its own and she took mercy on the other with ice......Just want to know now if this could have been something that would spread and kill her Danios, Tetras, or Loach....

We don't have enough information to even make an educated guess. It could've been stress, it could've been bacterial, it could be that her water's chemistry is off... it could be anything. Could it kill off the rest of the fish? It's possible.

I would start by getting the water parameter, API liquid master kit test is great! Also, fish roaming up top is a good indicator of low air. Like Sark said up top, too many things can factor into it..

Checked and the PH was a bit off...must have been it, thanks!
