A Few Molly Diseases?

[sam9953]

As i am planning to have some black molly fries so i think i would like to know more about the diseases of black molly that are common. Please tell me more about the diseases which can occur to my black molly and what are the solutions to those diseases?

This would be very good to know as one of my silver mollies have started swimming upside down or not making any effort to swim at all. I dont think my molly will last throughout the night but would still like to know.

With good water quality and high mineral content water, health problems for mollies are almost non-existent. Regular water care is a great disease prevention approach for most of the fish that we see in the hobby. In the past 7 years, since I got back into the hobby, I have had one outbreak of ich in some newly purchased bettas and no other health issues. I do have fish die of old age from time to time, but illness is almost non-existent in my tanks.
As far as a diagnosis for a specific illness, CuriousK, I would post a good description of symptoms, and a picture if you have one, in the Tropical Fish Emergencies section. People in that part of the forum help others every day with illness and are far better at it than I would be. Having read a few posts there, I find that they often are advocating clean water as a cure for many diseases.

I am also practicing regular water change and i think that my water is not at all cloudy plus i am removing all the unwanted particles from my tank.
