Last night my black mollie fish was alright swimming happily but then suddenly in the morning it sunk down and started turning upside down. Is it because i might have fed it a bit too much last night. i can also see its pee and **** hole, is that bad?
Pleaaaase help i meant to be looking after it for my nephew!!
Do think theres a chance it might survive?

If the only situation right this is overfeeding, s/he must be ok. the situation is he may be constipated (particular, it could ensue to a fish!). If it is going to eat, attempt feeding it a tiny piece of a cooked eco-friendly pea for some fiber, and quickly it the remainder of the day. And contained sooner or later, in simple terms feed what the fish can eat in 2-3 minutes two times an afternoon. If what you have been feeding is flake nutrition, there's a gamble it ingested some air besides. this may be what's inflicting it to teach over. If there exchange into any extra nutrition left contained in the tank it would be bumped off or it could foul the water.

If the only problem here is overfeeding, s/he should be okay. The problem is he might be constipated (yes, it can happen to a fish!).
If it will eat, try feeding it a tiny piece of a cooked green pea for some fiber, and fast it the rest of the day. And in the future, only feed what the fish can eat in 2-3 minutes twice a day.
If what you were feeding is flake food, there's a chance it ingested some air as well. This may be what's causing it to turn over.
If there was any excess food left in the tank it should be removed or it can foul the water.

There are two possible problems.
One is that as you have fed it, it has got constipation and therefore you should feed it a pea as suggested above, and for a few days feed it flakes (or other food that's not live) that has been soaked in the water for a bit.
Another is that it's swimbladder disease and that is worse. Try improving thew conditions cleaning out and removing waste of food and plants. If you can go to your local fish/pet shop for further advice.
Hope it gets better,

Try fasting it to treat for constipation. If it keeps flipping over, I'm afraid their's no hope. Twirling disease, as it is called, is untreatable and contagous.
