Hi, need some HELP!!   I noticed earlier that one of the mollies in my tank was swimming round the tank almost vertically with his head down and tail up. I've just checked him again and he is lying stationary on the aquarium bed. Not really sure what to do. Things of note:   25l of 70l water...

Hi,   Entirely new to tropical fish keeping. Got my tank yesterday, it's set up now and cycling so I'm hoping next Saturday to start getting my fish and waterlife. I've read so much the past few days on various fish, their behaviours and compatibility and arrived at what I think I'd like and...
