Molly with breathing difficulties

[ah_hup]

help one of my molly is staying at the bottom and seem to have breathing difficulty.. it keep opening and closing its mouth.. what is wrong with it? all mine other fishes are fine.

Fishes suffer from laboured breathing for a variety of reasons, mostly related to the gills. Some of which includes

01. Inadequate water condition (Ammonia and chlorine) causing gill burns
02. Infections from fungi, bacteria
02. External parasites such as gill flukes (Dactylogyru)

Under uncertain circumstances, it is best to isolate the fish so that the threat of gill flukes can be contained. Chances are the fish would not survive anyway.

Cheers,
