Okay, thanks for the advice. So I think my question now is: if I have platys, danios and mollies is it harmful to NOT add salt? Can they thrive without it? Let's say maybe I want to add neons or some other type of scaleless fish, can they coexist with the livebearers without salt? I'm...

I went into the fish store and was asking about the fish and the salt in their tanks. They put salt in ALL their tanks, INCLUDING the scaleless fish ( I asked). So I'm wondering if I should continue putting salt in the tank regardless of the fish, since the fish are used to it? So far I just...

I have a 26 gallon tank with 2 platys and 4 zebra danios. I've had it for about 3 months. I had another platy and 2 balloon mollies that died this week from a fungus (I think) :-(. Anyway, I have added salt to the aquarium once and then did not add it again when I've changed the water. I...

I have a feeling I'm going to lose the other Mollie. He's just laying on the bottom of the aquarium. Is there not anyone who has a suggestion? PLEASE!!!

The platy moved from the bottom of the tank to the surface. Nothing appeared to be visually wrong except for the fact that she wasn't swimming around. I didn't notice her gasping or anything. She died within the hour. As soon as I removed the dead platy from the tank my Mollie started...

Okay, I lost one of my Balloon Mollies to what looked like a fungus. I went ahead and treated my tank. My other Mollie is now hanging out at the bottom of the tank, and hiding out. One of my platys was too, but I coaxed her out and she's swimming around normally now. Anyway, the Mollie does...

UPDATE: Okay, I finally talked to someone at my lfs and he said it looked like a fungus. The mollie was too far gone to save, so he euthanized it for me. The poor thing got to where he couldn't really swim or breathe properly. He had what looked like a white film over most of him. Anyway...

Last night I noticed a white spot on the top of my black balloon mollie. It was just one spot, and kinda cottony looking. I saw that in a previous post someone said it could be a fungus? Anyway, today he was laying at the bottom of the tank, barely moving. I took him out and put him into...

Hiya, I have a 26 gallon tank that currently has 6 fish in it. I have 4 zebra danios and 2 balloon mollies. I ran the tank without fish for about 2 weeks because I knew I was going on vacation. Then I added the 4 zebras. My water checked out fine 2 weeks later, so I got the 2 mollies and so...
