It was 75 but I changed my sand to play sand so I’m not sure atm. They were all eating and swimming well, but out of nowhere Started to isolate themselves and then swimming awkwardly->getting skinny->not eating->deathThis is likely a GH (water hardness) issue. We will know if you can post the GH and pH.
The fish isolated themselves in the tankIsolation can cause extreme stress...
Mollies are social creatures. Imagine if you were to just isolate yourself for a long time, you would get pretty stressed!
How exactly were you isolating them?
My point still stands that isolation = extreme stress. Do you disagree?The fish isolated themselves in the tank
Nope just sayin that the OP didnt separate themMy point still stands that isolation = extreme stress. Do you disagree?

My ph Should be 7.2-7.6 ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 0Is the 75 the GH? If yes, then presumably it is 75ppm. That is much too soft for mollies, and the shimmying in the videos is a usual first sign of GH issues. The pH is likely below 7 which is another factor. If this is the case, you won't have healthy mollies or any livebearers in this soft water.
