Hi,
We got a new female sailfin molly and it was in the quarentine tank for two weeks. She was so stressed and nervous at first, but then she got used to the quarentine tank. I noticed her gils seemed a little red, so I tested the water and it was 20-30 on the nitrate levels (using the API test kit). It was time to move her over anyways, so I did. Her fins are clamped in. You can't see her fins and her tail fin is not fanned out, she sort of wobbles to get around and occasionally uses her side fins. She has been eating and she pecks around a little for algae. Any idea? Thanks.
I am dosing (slowly) 1/2 teaspoon per 2 gallons, which is half the dosage the API Aquarium salt package says to do, just because we have a cory cat in that tank.
