Ok well i have 1 Female Dalmation molly in my 33 Gallon allong with other tank mates. Any ways i have noticed that the way she is swimming now it odd. When she is moving arround it's like her whole back is twisting kinda like how a snake moves. i never notices this before, and when she is just floating arround it looks as tho she looks to be bend.??? i dunno what to make of this. I just tested my water, and i got

Temp: 78
PH: 7.6
Ammonia:0
nitrites: 0

I have no idea whats going on... IF any oen has any ideas please help...


Oh and i just noticed that she looks as if she is floating Tail first towards the surface. i dunno whats wrong with her

All the Other FIsh in the tank seem to be just fine. I started a DIY Co2 Injection last week and changed the substrate on the same day to Play Sand. She was fine up till yesterday when i started to notice it.

It's as iff the back half of her is like paralized...?
 
Check your pH value. DIY CO2 can be.. tricky. It may have lowered your pH to an unacceptable level.

In the initial post, she says her pH is 7.6, but that begs the question of what it normally is. Do you remember what it was last time you tested it?
 
I know that there is a lot of knowledable (sp) people here, some one must have experiance with this? any one..
