    White film on Molly?

    These 4 Mollies are the only fish in the tank. The are 3 small fake plants in the tank & a treasure chest decoration. Do you think it is overstocked? These guys are smaller, nothing fancy. They are not even 2" each. Is it because this is a smaller tank? LFS told me I could add another Molly or 2...

    White film on Molly?

    Thought things were going well but now seem to be changing their mind. I have been giving Mr Slimy salt baths for about 30 mins every day & added aquarium salt the the tank as directed on the bag. HE seemed to be doing better with only small spots remaining on his body. Where there is still...

    White film on Molly?

    OK, done with water change and a salt bath for Mr Slimy. I added him back to the tank & they are all happily munching on a couple of slightly boiled shelled peas at the moment. I did add about a tablespoon of non-iodized salt to the tank & none of the fish semed it have minded. I will see...

    White film on Molly?

    Just wanted to say thanks for all of the help. Will get moving on the water change now & feed some peas. If I am using table salt how much should be added to a 10 gal? Also, should I add slime guy back to the tank or watch him for a day or two first. Right now he is in a 1 1/4 gal...

    White film on Molly?

    How much aquarium salt should be added, this is a 10 gal tank. Sorry, was writing & saw your response. No it is not bluish either, wish I had a camera. It looks like a single white coating over the fish. It isn't clumpy or salty looking. I had an outbreak of Columnaris years ago in a tank and...

    White film on Molly?

    The Mollies are the only fish in the tank. The tank is crystal clear. I have never had a problem with algae, as I said before it does get cleaned weekly. I do replace my carbon filter about once a month and it was changed about 2 weeks ago. I try to stick with the beginning of every month. Any...

    White film on Molly?

    Thank you for the fast reply. I have not seen any rubbing or heavy breathing. Eating is normal. This film seems to cover almost the entire body including rear fin and looks like now it is over one eye. The gill on this side also looks covered but still breathing and swimming fine. I have...

    White film on Molly?

    I have 4 black Mollys in a 10 gallon tank. One of the black mollies has a white film over its body. The tank has been set up over 1 year with same fish in it. They are fed flakes daily, blood worm & peas or zucchini on weekends. Water changes and gravel are done weekly. Simple tank with a...
