My white molly recently gave birth to 12 fry and a a day later she developed a hunch back and her belly is really thin. She stays near the bottom of the tank and does not eat. Does anyone have a picture of a fish with TB so i can identify it because i would not like to be wrong and euthanize my fish for no reason, i want to be 100% sure she has TB...
 
Scroll down till you get to fish tuberculosis - there's pics though I can't remember if there's any with a curved spine (there are many symptoms) and a description of the general signs (which I believe match your fish): http://www.fishpalace.org/Disease.html

Also look here: http://www.pvas.com/articles/keefer-tuberculosis.htm
And here: http://www.4qd.org/Aqua/disease/tb.html
And here: http://members.optushome.com.au/chelmon/Myco.htm
for more info.

For images, I did a google search and eventualy found this: http://aquaworld.netfirms.com/Disease/Fishtuberculosis.htm Unfortunately, I don't think the picture is of much use when it comes to mollies. I couldn't realy find any other pictures. Sorry.
