My female dalmation molly is preggo AGAIN, but right now she is acting very odd. She actually looks like she is having mini siezure....what's up? Please advise.

what do you mean by mini seixure?? it could be a swim bladder infection.. if so that can be treated by either feeding her a cooked pea (with skin removed) or skipping a day or two of feeding.. sounds cruel ik.. but usually swim bladder passes after the fish pottys..
I've seen mollies go completely "crazy", swimming around all wierd and doing sideways circles and stuff. They all died. I have no idea what causes it though.

there's something i've heard of called the whirling disease, ive never personally seen it.. pretty much the fish just spins and swims in circles and freaks out.. i honestly dont know much about it.. but that could be the case as well.

that sounds weird...I've never heard of it. Maybe someone can shed some light on it? I'll see if I can get some answers, but it sounds like something is irritating the fish. As a habit I would test the water as a first port of call.

siezures can be caused by different health problem better bring your pet to the vet and have her checked up.
