One cloudy eyed female molly

[adam_jones]

I've had my pair of Mollies for approx 3 weeks and they have been getting on fine with lots of adult behavior. Today though on of the female's eyes has become cloudy and swollen and there looks to be an ulcer on her top lip, she's also very lathargic. All the other fish look healthy even the male molly. Can anyone shed some light? Poor Girl

Cloudy eyes are usually pop-eye, or cateracts. Is the eye bulging at all?

And let me PM Wilder, as she is our resident disease expert, and can help you on this much more then I!

 

[adam_jones]

yes it is bulging

 

[WILDER]

Need to no water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, for the ulcer you will need a anti internal bacteria med, cloudy eye is a symtom of a desease rather than a desease in it's self, i would preform a water change before you add the med, good luck.

Sorry must of posted at the same time if it's bulging out it's popeye and the anti internal bacteria is for that aswell.

she also has 2 or three white spots on her, it doesn't look like "white spot" though (not as graney) are these ulcers? If I take a pic will this help?

 

[WILDER]

Where are the spots on he fish, how big are they and do they have a circling of red on them.

 

[WILDER]

The whitespots are they on the dorsal fin.

It also could also be Piscine tuberculosis. There is no effective treatemet, if a fish has it, the entire tank has to be stripped down and disenficted before you add any new fish.
