Not sure if Black Molly is a boy or a girl, will keep my eye open for belly swelling. Thanks.

Just out of interest, how do you know when a black molly is pregnant?

Thanks Wilder for your advice. Molly is cured and is bank in the tank where he belongs.

They look like salt size. Not bumps tho only like little freckles. What is the treatment for eye flukes, cannot get to LFS until next Saturday?

We have had our black molly now for nearly a year. Its top fin is like a closed fan and he has little white spots on his back. He also has some white spots in his right eye. The new white mollys we have are swimming around the black molly and look as if they are trying to protect it. We have...

Thanks Wilder. Unfortunately we had nothing to isolate her in. When I take my water back to my LFS this weekend for a test I am gonna buy a pregnancy cage thingy - just in case! What size are hospital tanks normally and would these be okay to use for ill AND pregnant fish (obviously not at the...

No problems. Hope it answers your question :crazy:

We have had the tank successfully up and running for approx. 6 months. Everything was perfect when fish were introduced. Its only the last week we have been having problems. :crazy:

Is that causing the fish to swim/hover at an angle?

[font=Comic Sans Ms]Over the past week I have lost 11 fish due to the water temperature jumping from 27/28 degrees up to anywhere between 34 and 37 degrees. We have had to turn the heater off last night to keep the water temperature down. When I checked this morning, the temperature was at 27/28...

I can't see how they'd be okay? I mean, if I was left a week without food, okay I wouldn't die but I'd be bl00dy hungry!
