My pregnant molly is sick I think, my sister is fish sitting for me while I'm out of town. And she sent me a pic of my pregnant molly. She is norally bright orange. But she has over the past 3 days developed what looks like hard water stains on her back and around her mouth. I can't get the parameters until tomorrow. She is acting normal and doesn't seem distressed. Eating, swimming ok. Not rubbing against the tank or decor. She is breathing a bit heavy but that might be the fry's may be close to being born she is looking rather boxy. I looked up fish illnesses but none seem to look like her.
Temp is 79 /80 I do have a heater but it has been a constant 79/80 past 2 mo with out it on. It's been extremelyhot summer and I don't have central air so it's hot in the house 24/7
29 gallons, tank is not in the sun at all, 2 aqua clear 50 filters, and a 50 g bubbler, apI flakes 2 to 3x day, and shrimp sinking pellets, occasion veggies blanched, last water change my sister did sunday, has been set up since may, freshwater no salt,
Tank mates: 2 platys, 3 eel loachs, total of 4 mollies one was added a wk ago, and a clown pleco who is 1.5 inches but will be going to a separate 50 gallon this wk
Sister added java moss today for the fry when they hatch
Help pls!
