I have a molly that has seemed amazingly healthy. She has seemed pregnant a couple of times in the few months that she has been in the tank. Recently, we have noticed a couple of problems with her. She appears to have flaky/missing scales on the top of her head. Additionally, she has recently started to go through periods of swimming vertically as opposed to horizontally. Any thoughts or ideas about what could be causing any of this, and what can be done to fix it?
38 gallon tank
Only 3 Mollies in the tank
Tank has been running since March
ph is in the normal range (about 7.2)
Ammonia is 0 ppm
Nitrite is .25 ppm
Nitrate seems to be off the charts...I've recently done some water changes, gravel clean out to try and remedy this problem. I will be testing it again in the near future to determine if my changes have been successful.
