it could be cos mollies often do best in hard alkaline or brackish conditions, i've kept mollies before and had no end of problems with them in tanks which should be healthy.

i believe pimafix cures pop eye so get some of that and get the tank dosed up.

is the molly male or female and what is the ratio of male and female mollies in the tank?

The molly in qustion is female she gave birth about 6 weeks ago think she was pregy from lfs the ratio of mollys is two black 1 male 1 female and 2 silver mollys 2 male P.s i am setting up a hospital tank so i put the new filter for the hospital tank in main tank so it can cycle 1 week ago belive this will take about 4 weeks to cycle

if you've 3 male mollies and 1 female then that's the root cause of the problem.

you need more felames than males at a ratio of 2:1. the males will relentlessly persue the female to get their way with them, it's very stressful for the females so you need to have lots of girls to spread the aggression out. because she's so stressed she's getting poorly, need to get more girlies in there to even things out
