My female molly might be sick! I have her in a 29 gal. with 3 platys. Ever since my black molly died she has been sitting at the bottom. She comes up and eats though. She hardly EVER swims around. Just in one spot. My water tested good. The nitrates are a little teeny weeny bit high but not bad. I can reduce those by doing water changes. What do you think is wrong with my molly? I need the help. Thanks!
 
I use this stuff called molly bright for my mollies. It is made by jungle.

But maybe her heart is broken. My two mollies follow each other everywhere and I always wonder what will the other do when one passes on. Maybe your molly is lonely and needs companionship. Do you know why the other molly died?
 
no but 3 of my mollies died. 2, 2 months ago( both males), and my felale idk. She looked REALLY skinny and it looked like her stomach and back were disinegrating...
 
try a salt bath, this is what worked for me when a few of my mollies started t do this. I don't know what it ws, maybe some type of marasite, or bacterial infection anyway the salt bat worked alomost ocvernight. I though that my molly was just getting picked on, but after isolatingand feed as much as the molly wanted it still didn't work after 3 days so i gave the whole tanik a salt bath and now they are all fine. One note on that i did see one that looked like it may have had ich. Just follow thedireciotns in daveedkas article. I have linked you to it below.
