one sick/sad molly

[canis_lupus]

i didn't put this in the emergency cuz he's been like this for a week and not changed my male molly Spooky isn't healthy ......um he eats normal and puts up a good fight for his food....but other than that he kinda sulks on the bottom and doesn't move.......when i go up to the tank he gets up and swims......but sometimes he kinda swims almost vertical. his tail isn't open to full size but it's not clamped like he's deathly ill i dunno maybe he's sad and one other thing it looks like his scales are wet (yeah i know he's in water) but more like he's sweating got any ideas......besides what i said i can't see anything wrong with him.....the fish don't bother him fins and such r fine......and all the other fish are happy and healthy (sorry no test kits can't tell u the params) )

Clamp fins are a sign that something is up with spooky, 2 things spring to mind

> Ammonnia & Nitrite levels too high causing skin irration, i know you havent a test kit but i highly recommend one. Maybe a partial water change is called for.

> Skin/body flukes (does he flick off items in the tank like gravel & decorations?)

as for the bubbles on his skin i'm not what that is. Does it look like air bubbles or white spots known as ich (White Spot)

he's been like this since i got him.......the other fish aren't showing any signs of high ammonia or nitrites..........i will do a water change but he's kinda perked up right now.......he's active enough sometimes.......but i know theres something wrong he don't rub up against anything.......and i don't know what u're saying about bubbles? thanks.....i'll keep watching him

 

[bigfish]

I was hoping whether you could tell me if the bubbles on his skin are white spots or just air bubbles?

 

[canis_lupus]

i didn't think i mentioned him having spots on his skin.......sorry i might have typed it wrong thanks 4 your concern tho!

it might be ich or some kind of fungus

See my sig (diseases) see if any of the symptoms match the problem. Clamped fins are a sign of something wrong
