I got 6 mollies and 3 Peppered cories.
They were normal when i bought them. Now having released them, one of the mollies is resting on the gravel, doing nothing else (save breathe, thank god) and swimming very short distances down there. It doesnt go up and join the others.
Next, my cory. 2 of them are doing great and are tagging along to the bronze ones i already have. However, one of them is always up there, continously breathing air. When i poke it with the end of the net, it swims down, and then just goes back up. I swear the tanks where they came from, the others all looked normal.
Neither have any physical signs of sickness or parasites. I am just basing my worries on their actions. Will they get ok when they settle down, or must i remove them ASAP?
I might add that every other fish in there are leaving them alone and are not showing similar signs of distress.
Thanks in advance,
P.T.
