Question
hi,
my fish that i bought yesterday dies over night. before it dies i did notice some strange behavior..(molly fish i bought 3) it swam upside down and was very sluggish. I put it on its own in a different tank when i woke up though it was dead... now i have a molly fish that will barely eat and is acting sluggish what should I do?

Answer
Hi Samantha,
  Unfortunately it is hard to say.  It could be that the fish were sick when you got them, or it could be that your water isn't right.  Do you have chlorine in your water?  What temperature is your water?
