I had done a water change after the two mollies had passed and the last two remaining mollies are healthy, I assume. Since she popped out so many babies yesterday. The betta is now in with the others and is extremely shy and the gourami sometimes swims near her to irritate her but she has never...

Unlike most of my other threads that just ask questions in a panic, this one is just me sharing exciting and sad things. In the past week I've had two mollies die. My black one who I assumed has brain damage due to a recent incident, this one I knew was coming she was not eating and lost weight...

@Colin_T I woke up this morning and she was out of the box, she somehow got out of it but she looks normal now. I wonder what happened. She was doing barrel rolls and slamming herself against the side now she seems like her old self except with a small lean to one side. But I am going to keep...

It was a gravel pump that slipped. Earlier she was just rolling frantically. The only thing I can do is say goodnight, maybe for the last time. She has exhausted herself out now and is just laying there moving her fins. She was eating food I gave her a flake to test if she would still eat and...

I feel so bad I was doing a water change and the pump slipped and I thought nothing of it until after it was all done and my black molly was swimming fast and on her side. I got her into a breeders box so she stops running into the others and the ornaments. She just got better after a case of...

One last post to close off this thread. She looks completely normal now. She is doing the normal amount of hiding she did before and is eating well. Current photo with the male bugging her again. Thank you all so much for the help. <3

Thank you all for the advice. One bucket I am going to have the fish (@PheonixKingZ I have 5 fish in there 4 mollies and 1 gourami), the secured filter so it can't move around and hurt anyone and the air pump. The other bucket I am going to put gravel and any remaining water with the ornaments...

Ok so I just cleaned the filter during the whole popeye incident. Check. I am doing water changes every day anyways due to popeye. Check. And I only have one five gallon bucket for a 10 gallon tank but in order to not overflow it can only hold about 4 and 1/2 gallons. Is that enough water to put...

I am dreading moving my tank. I do not know any proper ways to move it. My mother suggested getting half the water out, removing ornaments and leaving the fish in the tank to move it. Like a big water change where I fill it when I get there. But I do not feel safe doing it that way. Is there any...

This is her today. Compared to when I found her I believe she is looking better. Thank you all for the advice. Just a few more questions. How come she is the only one who got this? Is it common to come back once they get this? And finally, could this have been fatal for her?

@Colin_T I got an ammonia tester today since mine did not include it. It says there is only tiny amounts of ammonia. So I do not know what could have caused this. I added some aquarium salt after tests hoping something will help her. I had done a water change last night and one late in the day...

This is her now, not any better after fungus clear. I will try giving her an Epsom salt bath and changing the water tonight since I do not know how adding salt may affect my gourami. I have also change the filter out. Another bit of information is that she seems afraid of me more than normal...

@Colin_T PH is in the 7.0-7.5 range Alkalinity is a mix between 80 to 120 Hardness is between 150 and 300 Nitrite is 0 Nitrate (for the first time ever) is in the 20 to 40 zone I had just done a water change two days ago so I dont want to change the filter yet but if it will help I will. The...

I have this black molly and I know she is pregnant which idk if it matters much. But yesterday I noticed her eye has a weird white spot on it. I took it for an air bubble, now today it's completely covered and white. I immediately put in some fungus clear fizz tablets and removed my carbon...

Thanks for the help but little Shy Guy is no longer with us. May you chase all the bubbles and eat all the food in fishy heaven. RIP Shy Guy

Here is another photo after a few hours in the box and an small increase in water temp. I cannot tell if his scales are sticking out but I can tell his head is getting darker than normal.

I woke up this morning to find my dwarf gourami on its side. It is still alive and occasionally moves but I put it in a breeders box to make it easier for it go get to the top like it likes to. His fins look a little nibbled on, maybe due to the mollies or the other gourami. He does not look...

I just got a new gourami just less than 2 hours ago and I cannot determine its gender. The bottom fins are rounded but the dorsal fins are pointed.
