Orange Lyrctail Mollie?

I have 2 Lyrctail Mollies (mle/fmle) and 2 fancy guppies (mle/fmle). My female is acting funny. She has ick for one thing, and Im treating her for that. But she sits at the bottom of the tank, or when she swims, seems like her body is too heavy. What can be causing this. She also chased the alge eater out of his cave the other night. Help.
Answers:
The molly is stressed so turning the light on the tank off if you have one often helps, other then that your pet shop may have a product that may help its called stress coat to help it replace some of its slime coat, also minimalising the amount of time you put your hand into the tank will also reduce its stress levels and increasing the amount of oxygen in the water. Also if you have a flter make sure uve removed the carbon other wise it will remove the medications uve been treating the tank with.
hmmm.
maybe ask a pet store.
They may have better answers.
but,
maybe just leave her alone for awhile,
she could get better.
We have tons of fish but have never had this happen..
then again, maybe shes pregnant or something?
who knows.
Your mollies is just stressed. Give her some time.
