My balloon mollies dont look like they are doing so hot. D: They just hang in one spot near the surface, breathing hard, and not eating. They ate like pigs constantly just days ago.
It seems that I kill everything except catfish and hopefully bettas. /sobs

How is the nitrates and nitrites? Is there any source of aeration?

Aw I'm sorry kazoo!!!!! :,( I hope they all pull through! And to add to the list of bad news I can't find anyone to take Yu-gi so he has to go back to the petstore tomorrow...I'm hoping since he's such a pretty betta someone will adopt him again real quickly and he'll go to a really good home

nitrates and nitrites are fine I think... I have a filter running that aerates the water pretty well.
The cories in the same tank are doing wonderful /knock on wood

ferretlover, why do you have to get rid of him? dont you have that 2.5 gallon still?

The tank that I thought was a 2.5 is really only a 1.5 :/ Yeah I thought about putting them both in the 5 gallon but I just couldn't do that to Kaiba. He's gotten so used to having so much room and unlike Yu-gi he actually uses it and is on the move a lot. My friends and I go to the petsmart often so I'll be able to keep an eye on him to see when he gets adopted. And if (even though I hope it doesnt happen) one of my friends bettas die or *tear* Kaiba dies and he's still there I'm sure we'll snatch him back up again.

I just found my two mollies between the filter and the tank wall... I'm not sure if they were there becuase they got sucked back there or just wandered...

Here's Kaiba's new tank setup :) I think the cory's are going to be kinda mad their mountain is gone but they're tank is now a forest! So they'll have lots of places to hide!
