My female molly acts like a spazz2007-11-24 23:09:45

She is constantly swimming is circles and going 100 mph! She is pregnent. She lives in a 10 gallon tank with 2 other mollies and a black mystery snail. Is this normal? I got my 3 mollies today.

Answers:

You did float the bag with the fish in the tank for a while and slowly add your tank water to the bag, correct? If not, there could be a ph difference between your tank and the pet store's and she's reacting to that/going into ph shock.

Also, try checking your water quality-ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates. Ammonia and nitrites should be reading 0 ppm, and nitrates under 20 ppm.

And, did you use dechlorinator to remove chlorine/chloramines if you used tap water/city water?

If all that checks ok, then she's probably just adjusting to the new tank and the stress of the move.

She is stressed out so yes this is normal given that you just got her. I would recomend leaving the light off and trying to stay away or make sudden movements until she calms down. If you notice anything else please feel free to email me.

yes, that's absolutely normal

It sounds actually like she's gettin ready to give birth

Provide a lot of live plants for the babies to hide in and read the following article
