Hiya all, hope you are well. My 2 black mollies both had whitespot last week which now seems to have gone after upping the water temp and using meds. My othere half was watching the fish on saturday when he spotted a baby fishy!!
when we looked again there were loads of little tiddler mollies swimming about!! Last count today is 19!!!!!!!!!!!!
My question is though..;. the molly that we think gave birth has taken to sitting on the gravel quite a bit, could she just be knackered after such a large lot of offspring???? Cheers in advance x

Sitting on the bottom of the tank can be a bacterial infections.
Can you post your water stats.
Does she look pale or darker in colour, is she being listless and lethagic, is the molly still eating her food.

If she resting alot on the bottom of a tank it can be bacterial.
Can you issolate her for treatment.

Its not normal behavour resting on the bottom I lost fish to it.
I would add a bacterial med to your tank and increase aeration in the tank with using the med.
