Sideways Molly

Noticed a couple of weeks ago one of my young Mollies was leaning to the side slightly as it swam. it doesn't seem to have improved over time but this morning was significantly worse, actually on it's side, flailing it's whole body as it swims. one or two other fish are beginning to become curious. Should I dispose?

Sorry to hear that LellyNelly    Nice of your husband to do the deed for you though. Its not an easy decision to make and certainly not an easy task to carry out.

I had read your original post, but had no idea what could be wrong so I didnt reply. To be honest, I was waiting to hear what others might suggest, as I too have a molly (wee fry) swimming on its side. Though it is swimming normally, not flailing around as you described with your fish. Its gradually tilted further and further over for the last 10 days or so. Its not far off 90 degrees now, but is otherwise fine 

Hope your tank is well apart from the above molly
