Black Mollie Wigging

Question
My Mollie just keeps wiggling in one spot. He will eat food but after that he goes back into a corner and starts wiggling again. He does swim, but he still wiggles while swiming. Is he okay?

Answer
Hi Miesha

It's a tough one to answer. It doesn't sound like normal Molly behavior, unless he's the only Molly in the tank. Mollies that are solo will sometimes exhibit shy and timid behavior, especially when mixed with larger tankmates. Single male Mollies will often be an aggressor with fish of similar or smaller size. Are there larger tankmates that could be harassing him? If not, you could try adding a couple of females in with him which may snap him out of this. Other than that, if he looks healthy and is eating normally I wouldn't worry about him.

Hope this helps, good luck!
