Molly Paralyzed???

Hi everyone. Got problems with my male Mollie. He is no longer shimmying but, he is swimming around like he has a paralyzed tail. He moving stiff and labored, does anyone have any ideas? I mean he was perfectly healthy when I got him.

And all my levels are normal, temp - 82degrees(dropped it down as I was told)

thanks
Lakota

Have you tried Molly Bright or Shimmy Block?

Could be worth a go with the symptoms you've been suggesting.

Hate to sound like a broken record, but I really don't like to use chemicals in the aquarium. Before I'd add anything, try adding 1 table spoon of salt per 5 gallons of water. Thing you need to remember about the salt is that it doesn't go away untill you do a water change, but it helps to cure a lot of things, and mollies appreciate some salt in their water anyway.

Well I've tried everything for my little male mollie. Everything that was suggested to me and I lost him. He just died @ 8 or 9 pm tonite

thanks to all who gave me suggestions:sad
