Ive just noticed my male mollie is acting strangely, hes swimming around but when he stops he like turns upright and then struggles to go back to normal swimming but then swims around again for abit then goes upright again.

All tests are perfect, i havent treated the water for any diseases for about 2 weeks, did a 25% water change on friday, and added the usual tap safe etc...

Can any1 tell me wots wrong? is it swimbladder or internal bacteria? or something else

All other fish are swimming around like nothings wrong
 
Swim bladder, what do you feed the fish.
Not sounding to good to be honest, sounds like it has advanced.
What other fish do you have in the tank.
Shelled peas if he's still eating.
 
he's still eating.. they have just had a mix of flake food, tubifex, daphnia and bloodworm ill treat the tank for swimbladder now, i wont add anymore salt as i did that on friday thanks for confirming wot the disease is.

The other fish i got is in my signature :)
 
thats great as he was mostly eating the daphnia anyway :) hopefully he will pull through (ive treated the water with interpet swimbladder treatment)
 
Ok, good luck.
 
*Update*

Well he has survived :) hes swimming around like nothings been wrong with him now :) thanks for replying wilder :) much appreciated
