Are u sure it's parasites?

Fungal infections in mollies is a common sign of poor water quality?
Have you checked your ammonia, nitrites and nitrates?

if so what were they? <br>

my water is clean...

No other fish have shown any effets of fungas infection...

also i did a water change the day before i brought the fish.. i think they had the infection when i brought them

will do another one this week end

and mom brought a test kit so i can actuly find out my stats

I think you will need to do abit more than just a water change, if you had a disease in your tank. You might have to strip the dank down and dis-infect everything.

Thats what i would have though. Anyone else got an opinion on this,

Im not sure if it could spread if so i will strip it down.

To be honest it's probably not worth stripping the tank down if it was a fungus.

You probably wont irradicate all the fungus spores by stripping the tank down. And the only reason fish would be infected by a fungus is if they already has a compromised immune system.

They do say Black mollys Get fungas infection fast...

So I Dont know weither or nto to drop the fry or give them a chanch?

What would you suggest?

I Dont want the fry to Die at a later stage / in pain

im not sure

What should i do?

 

[helterskelter]

I'm not attacking you before you think i am.

Water may be clean but there many toxins that can build up, and adding new fish causes a small ammonia spike.
ammonia is highly toxic and mollies are very sensitive to it even if the other fish are not suffering.

Water changes and test kits are needed.
