These fry where about a little over a week old. All doing great, eating swimming great. Christmas eve night i noticed some swimming on the bottom like they were eating, but they were straight up and down. And when they would try and turn they would bend completely over and not really go anywhere. They were still eating, so i didn't know what to think. Christmas day those i had noticed were dead or close to dying on the bottom so i removed them from the tank. Later that afternoon about 10 more were doing the same thing. So i changed their filter, and did a 20% water change (its a 1 gallon, i change 10% with fresh water, and 10% with cycled water from the parents tank since the fry tank was not yet cycled) I found those 10 dead that night, and most if not all the rest acting the same way. I couldn't go anywhere with everything closed on Christmas, and turned their light off and hoped they would be ok. Wednesday morning. All dead. I don't know what happened. Actually i have raised molly fry before. But always in the net breeders so the water conditions where very constant. Did i do domething horribly wrong? Was there something genetically wrong with them? Was this something that i could have treated if i had caught it earlier Christmas eve? The parents are fine and also got a water change with the same fresh water and new filter. Help?!?
