Question
Hi. I have a balloon molly that can only float upside down on the surface. It gradually got worse over about a week and now cannot go down in the water or turn right side up. Can I do anything to help it? thanks, Karen

Answer
It sounds like she had swim bladder disease.  Here is a link which can help you if you have problems with this in the future:  http://www.aquariumcorner.com/disease.htm

That should help you out.  Feel free to write me if I can help you out with anything else.

Good luck!!
