another molly question and dwarf puffer question

is it a good sign that my month old molly that i got yesterday is up at the top of the tank alot today...I knw i have so many questions, I just want to make sure its ok, and can't sleep beside a fish that could possibly be in trouble. He is swimming fine...and its true also that they sleep and are more stagnant...well how does a healthy fish sleep?

oh also i was reading about dwarf puffers can't seem to find information on them but i know they are freshwater..anyone know how big they get and how many galoons they need. I htink they are also aggressive too, right?

Re: another molly question and dwarf puffer question

the molly on top of the water can mean amonia in the tank check your amonia , as far as the dwarf puffers i have read that all they need is 5 gallons of water and also they dont get over 2 or 3 inches so i have read

Re: another molly question and dwarf puffer question

Re: another molly question and dwarf puffer question

Have a look at this: www.dwarfpuffers.com, copy and paste it.
Is the molly 'gulping' when it's near the surface? Rapidly moving its gills and mouth near the surface?

Re: another molly question and dwarf puffer question

my fish seems fine but how do i get rid of it...is there medicaiton? what is it called...im surprised dwarf puffers arnt more popular......
ok he is not gulping and is swimming his gills are not going fast at all ....but the fin on his back is down which i know is a bad sign, but i think its like that cuz he is so close to the top of the water

Re: another molly question and dwarf puffer question

well before you can do anything you need to test your water for amonia what size tank is it and how long has it been set up

Re: another molly question and dwarf puffer question

well i just found out when i entered this site that i was supposed to cycle it, but i didnt know...i do not have a amonia kit so i will have to get one. Though i would like to know if there is medication to treat amonia or not.

Re: another molly question and dwarf puffer question

Hi LolaGurl. Very late reply but, to answer your initial post, no, a dorsal fin stuck to body is not a bad sign. My male, for example, doesn't always show his off. On the other hand, if they do show it off a lot, you've definitely got yourself a happy fish (or one feeling romantic, if you know what I mean!)
