Okay - I don't have my water parameters, because I'm at work (so you don't have to ask for them) - but they are *fine*. I test them weekly and ammonia, pH, nitrates, nitrites, etc. are all on par. I do 20-25% weekly water changes, keep my Mollies in brackish water and am basically someone who truly tries to be the best fish keeper possible (even though I definitely have made my mistakes in the past).

History:

I lost my entire tank of adult Mollies when I converted my 2 10G tanks into 1 29G tank. Apparently the way I converted the tanks freaked/stressed my fish out and then came down with a reverse or deflated swim bladder problem (all of them, surprisingly enough) and within a month, they began to be unable to swim (one soon after another).

They would keep to the bottom, just flapping their side fins and their entire underbody would be almost "paralyzed". They would stop feeding (not able to swim to the surface and not even able to dig for falling food, until they ended up passing away. The diagnosis: Deflated/Reverse Swim Bladder Disease. (This is a "probable" diagnosis I got from a woman who is a zookeeper specializing in aquatics that happened to be at the LFS when I was there trying to explain the situation to get a diagnosis to the manager of the fish department. She works for the LFS company, so she became interested in my story and after talking to me for quite some time, determined that is what she thought the problem was.)

Current Tank:

Anyways --- I began to restock my tank with 2M Mollies - I thought 1 was F, sheesh - you'd think I could genderize them by now, but it is a very "fancy tail" Molly and I didn't look carefully enough to see it had a gonopodium "hidden" in its other "fancy fins". I bought them last Monday. I thought the two of them were doing fine, so yesterday I added in 2F Dalmatian Mollies. Water tests are still coming back perfectly fine as of this morning.

Besides the 2 Cream Mollies I added last Monday, I already had 4 juveniles in the 29G from previous Molly pregnancies (their mothers having passed away in the death tank episode mentioned above). I also had 7 "baby" Mollies (< 3 months old). All of these babies/juveniles and the 1 "fancy fin" M Molly are doing great. The Dalmatians are also "adjusting". They were sort of hiding earlier and the "fancy fin" Molly decided to "get to know them" (If you know what I mean, that's how I realized - duh, he's a he and not a she.)

The Sick Molly:

The 1M Creamsicle Molly that I bought last Monday is now showing symptoms of the "deflated swim bladder" problem that my other Mollies died of. He is staying at the bottom of the tank (hiding under the bubbler wand). This morning when I fed everyone, they were busy eating and he didn't move. When I came back 15 minutes later, he was trying to surface and he was severely struggling. His two side fins were working, but his tail fin and underbody were not appearing to be functioning. He fell back down and sort of bopped on the rocks. When I came back another 5-10 minutes later, he was back laying on the rocks under the bubbler.

What on earth can be done??? Has *anyone* had this problem? He has NO physical signs of parasites, Ich/Velvet, Dropsy/bloat or any other fish diseases. If I don't do something today, I feel he is going to die for sure. I will probably end up taking him back to the LFS to see if they can "save him" because I don't think this deflated/reverse swim bladder can be "fixed", where the other swim bladder disease can be fixed sometimes.

I am going to be posting this on as many fish forums as I can find, so please don't think I am "spamming". I just really would like to find someone else who has had this "deflated swim bladder problem" in their Mollies or other fish.

Please post here or even email me at ldorrington@earthlink.net -- I will be checking periodically from work all day to see if I can get some suggestions/advice.

My coworker has a cat who seems to have a real mental problem. He's always been well treated, and he's about 2 years old now, but he's got a split personnality thing going on. One minute, he'll be affectionate and sweet, and moments later his ears are back, his tail is twitching and he'll take off and run over the furniture, knocking stuff down and if you get too close, he'll hiss at you, swat at you, etc.
We've made an appointment with vet at the end of this week.
Any ideas?

My girlfriend of ten months just broke up with me. It came out of nowhere. We were talkin about marriage and everyhting, then out of the blue she calls me and tells me she needs some space. She said it was nothing I did wrong and nothing i can really do. She said I've been driving her nuts with money and trust issues, and i found out shes been staying on the couch at the house of a guy we know. Yesterday she came over for a little bit, said she missed me and loved, hugged and kissed me...then hours later she was saying that she doesnt think we will get back together. What happened? and what should I do? Oh, also, we have an apartment together, and now shes saying that she's going to be uncomfortable there since we broke up.

Unfortunately, I did not have the greatest relationship with my father growing up. A lot of the traditional songs don't apply to my father and I. I could use all the help in finding a more appropriate song for us to dance to. We have an OK relationship now, again, just OK.

It's been 6 yr in to our relationship with out any consern or help when I get ill. For the last yr I've worked very little out side the home but tend to house chores and kids (but I've worked 20 yrs prior to this) Recently I came down with the flu along with my kids then I sprainned my ankle. Insted of getting any help or sympathy I get a pissed off man who stomps around the house because he has to do my jobs (granted he supports the family) But what am I supposed to do I was told to stay off my ankle and it hurts damn it!If I don't mentioned what needs to be done he would lay on the couch the whole day and watch me struggle. After leaving the Hospital I called him to tell him about my ankle and he replied GREAT!!! (sarcasticly) When I asked him to get the kids ready for school he comes back with the reply I really don't have any choice do I. I mean this guy is pissed off because I am down. He got mad and told me to go back to work because of all of this. What is his problem?

What scientific proof is there for the proposition that "all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights"?

I certainly believe that, but I would assume those who say that we must be led by science and reason, not religion, would demand more proof than I would.

So, where is YOUR proof?

Australia is helping Bush do his thing over in Iraq (and believe me I - along with a lot of other people - knew that Usama Bin Laden wasn't there) and now we are caught up in our own country with people that we have given sanctuary to prettty welll putting us in a position of if the people of Islam do not have a war against us (in our own country) then they are against Islam. Should we send them all back to the country they come from so they can then fight for what they believe in!?

The headline says "U.S. Army Opens $50M Rehab Center for Iraq Amputees."

Neocons, you and your president sent them there. It's your own fault they lost a leg or an arm, maybe both legs and arms or were burned over 90% of their body. Are you going to sign up to donate a healthy arm or leg or eye or skin graft to these men who gave so much FOR FREEDOM. --Who gave so much TO KEEP THE WAR ON TERROR FROM COMING TO OUR OWN SHORES?

It seems perfectly fair. In fact, maybe the Democrats can pass a law madating that you chickenhawks give up your limbs and skin and eyes, which you don't really use for anything but propping yourself up on the couch to watch wrestling, anyway.
