My female molly use to be jet black but after treating one of my other fish with costapur (had the lights off for 3-5 days) i noticed she was looking a bit "faded"
and now it looks like her side and bottom fins are turning whiteish?

Ive just read the "mollies need salt" and am sh#tting it she has finrot or something crazy.gif she still seems perfectly happy.

Also, my lfs lady told me cooking salt was ok for them but i only added it once, cant remember why.

I feel a bit in the dark now, are my mollies going to be ok living in freshwater?

Cooking salt is definitely NOT okay because of the iodine. Get some acquarium salt instead.

Do you have a picture of her - it would be easier to identify (or try) what is wrong?

What are your water stats?

I have swords, mollies and tetras and they are all fine with salt. I believe you have to watch scaleless fish like loaches with it. Plecos will also be fine.
