I have a Balloon Belly Molly and I have had him since January or so. He seems healthy in pretty much every way except how he swims. He started swimming weird a little over a month ago and he seems to be doing this more often now. He will swim vertically and spin around almost like a little dance. Sometimes he was just swim in place and be vertical as well. He can and still does swim normal too but I am not sure whats going on since he seems to be doing it more often. From what I can tell he looks fine physically. He eats fine as well. We did add in (what we believe to be) a female Molly to the tank around the time he started doing this but I am not positive whether it began before or after we added her. I just want to make sure there is nothing going on. He looks healthy otherwise but it is concerning. Any ideas or should I not be too concerned? Or Is there something going on?
