Good Afternoon
In the 3-4 days my female mollie just did not look right - not swimming aggressively but just staying in one place.
Then I noticed her lips are swollen and she looks like a kissing gourmai (sp).
1. What cause this there is no white fur (fungus)
2. Is it contagious
3. What cure
4. I have added salt and Melafix to tank
5. Tank is a 55 gal with HOB and underground filter with pwr heads. 18 inch bubble wand & 4 inch disc bubbler. All parameters are great but my nitrates are always very high. Temp is raised to 81 degrees no hospital tank (it is what it is). It is a community tank with many fish and very very seldom do any fish die. 50% water changes weekly.
Looking for advise she is just a beauty - tan body with orange pec fins and dorsal fin
