Over the past couple of days my favorite molly has developed a crooked spine.
I've had her since May, and the only puzzling thing about her until now is that she has never given into the livebearer reproductive theme and has never had any babies (despite my best efforts!). So far searches have only given me TB and old age as answers.
I'm planning on setting up the quarantine tank, although I probably should have done so when I first noticed it...I took these questions from the other molly thread:
What size tank? 20L
What was the full stock? 1 female sailfin molly, 2 regular mollies (including the one in question), 5 sailfin fry, and 6 regular molly fry
Ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate levels? 0, 0, and 5 (somewhat heavily planted)
How did you cycle? The tank has been up since the end of August, but when I first put it up I used filter media from my 28gal.
How much and how often are you changing water? 50% once per week
Any new additions? Not since the male molly was added at the beginning of October..he was quarantined for a month before and treated with Paraguard.
What should I treat her with? I know if it is TB there is no hope for her, but I would like to try (and hope that it isn't, for the sake of my other mollies!)
