hey i just put some mollies in my tank they are silver lyre tails. 1 male 3 females when i put them in *sadly it was a rushed qt* one had a fat lip. it looked like it had been bitten by another fish and was sore. in less than a day it dissappeared.
now one of my mollies after a week of being fine has what appear to be to large clear testies hanging out of where it poops.
my amonia spiked up to 0.25 ppm
the nitrItes went up to 1.0 ppm
the nitrAtes were at 20 ppm before the water change.
the salinity is 1.008 S.G.
the temperature is 82 - 80 degrees.
the sand substrate is clean all of thier food is eaten with in 10 minutes of putting into tank.
they all are gaining weight and swimming happy except for the one with the growths.
my filter is working.
the occupants are about 20 ghost shrimps. 4 mollies *as stated*, one violet goby 7 inches total 6 if not counting fin. the tank is a 37 gallon 30x12 foot print.
i will be posting pics.
is this a fungus? an injury? a parasite? part of molly birth?
any help would be appreciated.
thanks.
