Hi, new to this forum and looking for a little help.

I have a pair of Yellow Fat Bellied Mollies which upto today have been fine (4 babies so far....), but today one of them has started swimming in it's side and back and doesn't seem able to stay upright.

I'm guessing at swim bladder disease and plan to treat with appropriate chemicals.

Does this sound right?

Andy:confused:

Sounds right...unfortunately once you start noticing big signs like that its very difficult to cure swim bladder :( If at all possible it might be good to seperate the fish out and make it more comfortable while medicating. Good luck, keep us posted...and welcome to the board! :)
