Juvi Balloon Molly

[Darren5591]

Heya,

Came home yesterday to find my juvi balloon molly trapped in between my C02 distributor thing which is stuck to the side of my tank. I managed to free her, not knowing how long she had been stuck there for. She quickly reclused away, and now she won't come out to feed and I can't see her unless I move the plants in which she darts to the other side of the tank. My hospital/birthing tank is not cycled fully yet, so I cannot put her in that yet, should I just net her and feed her on her own? I don't want to lose her has i've had her from very young.

Any help would be great,

Thanks

Personally I would leave her be and just keep an eye on her. She is probably stressed and by poking around looking for her you will stress her more. She will be fine if she doesn't eat for a few days so leave her alone and see how it goes.

Lost her this morning

Very sad, she had no strength and just drifted away. Absolutely gutted, had her from fry and watched her grow and grow.

Hopefully she's in a better place.
