Most Annoying Disease

Wonder what it was my black molly died from last night, he was lying at bottom of tank, and not well, then he kept flopping on his side, you could tell hde was dying, around his neck he was pale, kind of like black suede that goes a bit fady and bald, he also went really really thin? Any ideas

Need more info.
Size of tank in gallons or litres. 13 gallons
How many fish and which type. 2 guppys 12fry
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph. i tested for ammonia and it was clear.

Was the fish still eating? no
What does it look like when the fish go to the toilet. no idea
Check the anus of the fish to see if its enlarged or red and inflamed. he has gone :(

A fish being really thin can mean a number of things.
Old age, internal parasites, fish tb, flukes, velvet.

I bought him from fish shop 4 weeks ago along with another molly, who died 2 weeks ago, but that one looked like a ballon and huge swollen?
 
Have any of your fish been producing long stringy white poo.
 
Do you feed bloodworms.
As its sounding like internal parasites.
 
Thank you, off to look now.
Want to apologise if i have hyjacked this thread, i never meant to, so sorry.
 
The un named disease that attacks BW tetra. Looks like cancer, but instead of the fish getting pale. They grow to be very shiny and very vibriant, but with black bloges on the body and growths.

I've only lost 1 fish to this, but I tried everything. Other people who have encountered this, also try everything. No one knows how to get rid of it and no one knows what causes it

Black on fish can be ammonia burns that are healing, parasites, cancer to ntd its endless sometimes.
Take a look here.

Considering that my tank hasn't had an ammonia spike or parasites. I doubt it was either of these that caused it. I'm extremely vigilant when it comes to keeping on top of maintaining my tank.

*EDIT* just clicked on the link.. I think you responded to when I create a thread trying to figure out what it was. I do believe that no-one (including yourself) could figure out what it was.. also I think you gave me the link back then as well :good:
