very nice, looks quite big! How old?

Had her about 4 months now. Grown really quick. It was sick for quite a while I thought I was going to lose her, but recovered and now it spreads it's fins out and is one of the most active!

I have two small sailfin mollies in the 25 gallon which I'm going to put with the black sailfin.

Reason why I haven't added the other two with the black one is because the 55 gallon is a bit overstocked. upgrading to 95 gallons on the weekend

That's amazing how it recovered. In my experience, if a fish gets sick from anything but an easily recognized and cured disease, start digging the grave.

Normally that happens to me as well! With most fish nowadays I can get to save them though! (unless they commit suicide lol)

If you notice a fish isn't eating/hanging out at the bottom best thing is to act fast. Crank up the heat to about 82-85. Add a few tablespoons of aquarium salt.

If it's an infection treat it quickly! . I found a weekly water change is sufficent to keep them all happy chappies

The black sailfin though I thought had ick, but it was fungus, and I was treating for ick for many weeks. The fins were clamped for weeks and he weren't happy. As soon as I added melafix it went, but his fins were still clamped a little

Soon as I turned it up to 80 and left it like that, and put 5 table spoons of aquarium salt in. Suddenly his fins were up and gobbling up zillions of food. Dunno how she survived I got lucky really. She really is me fav fish though

Beautiful molly! She looks very happy!

 

[geezer]

Thanks Chibi

The tank has now been upgraded to 95 gallons. It only took 6 hours to do


I'll upload a new video when it's less cloudy and when I've added the other two mollies.

So far no casualties but who knows with all the stress!

what's wrong with it tetraman? you could try my method on adding some extra aquarium salt and cranking the temp a bit.

I'm not sure of the problem though so you may need meds or something!

the tropical fish emergencies section are very helpful

Tried both. He's a goner.
