I bought 2 silver mollies male & female. after 2 hours the male died. I went back yesterday and they gave me another one. this one was fine all last night then this morning when i woke up that was dead but the original female is still alive and kicking.....

My tank has only been going 4 weeks so im new to all this please advise me on what to do. I cant see it been my water as all my other fish are fine.

In my Tank:
male & female swordtail
6 neon tetra
1 corry
1 sucking loach
2 white cloud mountain minows
female mollie (just bought another which is sat in the bag in my tank now)

Thanks

Mollies are brackish fish. Is your tank brackish or just freshwater?

As many times as I see this... Yes, mollies are brackish by nature. They are bred, raised and live out their lives in the trade in freshwater and seem none the worse for wear. Keeping a molly in freshwater for years can have little to no effect and is not a reason for two to go belly-up.

Adam, do you have access to water testing kits? If not, please bring a water sample to your fish store and ask them to test it. Also, how big is your tank? You mentioned it was four weeks old, do you know if it fully cycled?
