A few weeks ago I bought one silver mollie and two angel fish. The angel fish are doing fine, but the mollie doesn't seem to be doing well. He stays in one spot almost all of the time. He only swims around when it's time to eat, and when he does swim he points his tail downward a lot of the time. He just doesn't look good. I've heard that mollies need aquarium salt but I didn't want to add any since the angel fish are doing fine and I wasn't sure if they could even tolerate it. Also, my LPS told me that mollies don't have to have salt in the tank. I've checked everything and all looks okay... Ph = 6.5-6.7, nitrites = 0, ammonia = 0. Could it be the Ph? Any advice is appreciated.
