Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior):About 3 weeks ago my white Molly started getting fat, I thought she was pragnant. She began to act a bit strange, hiding and such. she recently started coming out more. I have been watching her closely, but this morning I noticed that she had a red splotch on the top of her head, and shortly later she started spinning and died. My black Molly is pretty plump also, she is acting as usual.

Volume and Frequency of water changes: about 30% every week

Chemical Additives or Media in your tank:no

Tank inhabitants:Black molly(f), albino cory catfish

Recent additions to your tank (living or decoration):None

Exposure to chemicals:no

Digital photo (include if possible):
 
Red sores on the head can be bacterial, but also heater burn, but if she was bloated as well I would go with bacterial infection.
Try the fish on some shelled peas.
Mollies do better in brackish water but you have corys so no salt.
