Sick molly

[njnauticalnut]

One of my female mollies has had it rough the past two months. My tank had a breakout of ich about two months ago while she was pregnant and I had to treat it, she was one of the fish showing symptoms. The ich cleared and she eventually gave birth but I only saw one dead fry. Her stomach reduced tremendously in size that is how i know that she gave birth. The other tankmates apparently ate the dead fry because they were nowhere to be found. For a few days after she gave birth two scales on her right side were raised, but then they went down and have remained down. Her stomach has remained totally flat, nothing round about it any more, it looks strange almost too flat. A couple of days ago I thought the ich was back, but only on her, everyone else is just fine. I have another pregnant molly and a pregnant platy so am not sure if I should treat the tank. The sick molly's eyes look odd like they are three dimensional, there seems to be a round bubble on them, could it be popeye? She also have some white spots which may be ich or even velvet. She is eating and going on as if she is fine. I am not sure what to do for her. Any suggestions?

does her eyes look like a blister is over or around it?
I had one last week that both eyes look as if there were blisters on her eyes only.

Yes, that is a good way to describe it. It is like you took a small clear ball, cut it in half and attached it to her eyes. I am not sure what it is or how to treat it. I'd appreciate any advice. My water parameters are fine amonia 0, nitrite 0 nitrate less than 10.

I called evert pet store I knew of, and noone knew what caused this, and acted as if I was crazy...I hate to tell you she did die...I really hope u can find out more... Good luck

I think that she is dying as now her fins are pretty clamped and she is spending most of her time at the back of the tank by the heater. She wants to eat, but almost doesn't seem able to. She swims avidly up to the food but doesn't open her mouth to eat it. Ever since she gave birth to the stillborn fry, she hasn't looked right. I am continuing to keep an eye on her.
