What to do with my sick fish?
I have a belly molly which seems to be on it's last legs. The water conditions are all good and the tank is not overstocked (it's in a 20 gallon). I've had it for almost a year now but this fish has been sick for the past month or so as it seems, but nothing major until now. Now it is hard for it to swim, and sometimes it will just stay on the bottom. Anything I can do before putting it to sleep? It seems it wants something to rest on near the top of the tank. I was thinking of buying one of those betta leaves that sticks to the glass?

Your molly seems like it has a swim bladder disease, its curable and it doesn't need to be put down at all. Thaw some peas, deshell them and mash them up a bit, then you can feed it and chances are he'll be back to normal in no time. Maybe add a bit of salt if you havent already as they are brackish water fish. Never count a fish out, always do your research before putting them down and i guarantee you'll have some really happy long living fish :)
