In Memory of my molly....

[Thedaniokeeper]

He died today...
He was possibly the only Monster molly in existence...
He killed 1 4" scissortail and 2 zebra danios in 5 months.
He died from some weird bloating disease that left him unable to swim...
In memory of my favorite fish I have ever had!!!

P.S. He looked like a pufferfish in the week before he died. he was not overfed. Anyone know what this could have been?

how long did you have it?

 

[Bogwoodbruce]

Some people would consider a molly as a feeder
LOL
Not I!

Feeding your molly and other livebearers foods high in vegitable content does them a world of good.

A little bit of salt might be beneficial to mollies as well

Sorry about your monster molly!

You're supposed to feed mollies spinach? Good to know.

I'l remember that in the future. Thank you.
I had the guy since I started the hobby, about three quarters of a year ago.
He likely died not from one disease, but he got one of these at a time for about a month:

tank accident, Ich, Ich#2, Ammonia spike, dropsy, swimbladder destroying disease
