hey av just went through the same thing as you and nobody really help me. I think its because we dont have a test kit to be honest anyway .. i just lost another fish 1 hour ago but my other dalmatian molly looks good for now. i have been treating my tank for 3 days. i suggest that what you...

Ok, i have already got a topic on here about the fish in concern but, all explain anyway. I have a female dalmatian molly that had popeye for 1 day then went away the next but then she formed fluffy cotton like fungus on her tail, fin and parts of her body, So today i started on Protozin...

Hey, just to let you know that she has started to act a little weired she now just prefers to be on her own and hovers around corners of the tank, but her eye has gone down soo much i was shocked when i seen her this smoring. it looks like she never had popeye! but the only thing noticable is...

Hey, I recently bought a female mickey mouse platy since i only had 1 other female for my male platy. but for some reason the male seems to be chasing her away rather than chasing after her!.. she is defiantly female, am starting to think that she maybe just a young-in as she is a little bit...
