Did you cycle it?: Yes
If possible what are the ammonia nitrite and nitrate levels?: N/a
What is the issue or question?: I have two dalmation mollies. One is a lyretail and the other is a regular tail. The larger of the two (Lace) has been recently attacking Twine (smaller one). After about a week of this abuse, I saw Twine was weak and moving towards the bottom of the tank and laying on his side. I separated him from the rest of the fish, so he could heal. He has only gotten worse. Im not sure on what to do. It looks like he is shedding his scales or something. His smaller tank is covered in sheds and debrie in a very short amount of time. Does anyone know how I could treat him? Or will he just pass away soon? I could use any advice! Thanks!
Any other information?:
Alright, first off, you have a lot of stocking problems to fix:
1. Neon tetras are schooling fish and should be kept in groups of 5 or more.
2. Cories are also schooling fish.
3. A ten gallon is too small for mollies, they really need 30g+
You have two options: 1. Upgrade your tank 2. Give away some of your fish.
If you don't know the water parameters you don't know if it's cycled. How did you go about cycling the tank?
What do you have the molly separated too? Size, filter, heater? How often do you change the water?
