For the past couple of days I haven't seen my balloon mollie. I've searched behind the rock and the plants but can't find her anywhere. Is it possible she died and the other fish ate her?

i would think she has been eaten by the catfish or have you checked to make sure she hasn't jumped out of your tank?

It does sound like she may have died and been eaten.

One of my other mollies is dying now. She has been on the bottom of the tank, upside down, since yesterday. I was just about to get her out but she moved but I don't think she will be alive in the morning How long do mollies live?

Thanks for looking.
Sorry, I should have mentioned the mollie is not a balloon mollie like my other one that died. I must be doing something wrong because I can't keep mollies or platies for very long but my catfish never have any problems.

they say the average life span for balloon mollies is 4 years but they never last that long.they have a short lifespan because their so inbred unfortunatly. how is the mollie joy?
