Okay, thank you so much!

So directly into the tank?  Or take some water out, dissolve it in there and put it back in?

I went out and bought Melafix, and have already added this directly to the tank.   I also bought aquarium salts, because I believe this will help her feel a little better, reduce swelling, and keep her fry healthy..   My question is - can I add the aquarium salt directly to the tank? Or do I...

My adult gold dust Molly has popeye in only one of her eyes, she has her 2 month old fry in the tank with her so injury may be the cause.   I went out and bought Melafix, and have already added this directly to the tank.   I also bought aquarium salts, because I believe this will help her feel a...

I have 13 2-month-old fry and 3 3-week old fry. Should I try aquarium salts as well?

It seems that the whole tank might benefit from adding salts. I worry about quarantining her, I have a spare 2.5g but don't want to stress her out more. I am also going out of town for 2 days leaving my husband here to try and do all this! So should I go get aquarium salts to add? Anything else...

It's only in one eye, and she has 13 2-month-old fry in the 10g with her and a breeder tank with 3 3-week-old fry.    What is QT? I have currently Prime, Stress Coat, and my water testing has no nitrates, ammonia, but my pH seems to be a little low.    I just got dont with the cycle from the...

My adult Gold Dust Molly now has an eye problem! Was this because of the water? What can I do?! Help! [sharedmedia=core:attachments:71509] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:71508] [sharedmedia=core:attachments:71507]

Also: Just got through a new cycle from a bacterial bloom. Could this be the cause?

I just noticed my adult female Molly seems to have something going on with her eye. I just noticed today, and haven't seen it before.   Is there  anything I can do?  

Update! IT WORKED!   The water is soooo much clearer now! A little cloudy, but it might just be in tank needs to be scrubbed. Thank you so much for all your help!   Before this I had been doing 10-20% water changes every day. How often and how much water changes should  I do? Obviously, I was...

Thank you everyone so much for your help. I am very new to the Livebearers and have only had two Bettas before this. I hope I don't seem too "dumb".    Also, if any of you expert could reccomend some good rocks for the bottom of the tank and/or decorations, it would be highly appreciated. =]

Okay, I'll do a large water change and NOT change the filter, add some prime and stress coat, and be patient. Is it okay to leave the fish in the tank as I do the water change this large?

So should I do a large water change or not? Should I use the Prime and Stress Coat if I do? I'm so conflicted! When I saw the filter the last time I changed it it was soooo slimy and gross. Is that how it is supposed to be?   It's been like this for like a week and I just want them to be happy...

Help! PLEASE!   My water is so milky cloudy that I can't barely see the castle in my 10g. The fish are all acting okay and normal and don't seem to be in distress, and my test strips are all coming out okay.   I got water clarifier, along with Prime, and do 10-20% water changes daily.     WHY...

Sorry, so if I gradually add some gravel and things in (keeping a close eye on my pH and things and not squishing fry!) things will be okay?

I use an Aqueon 10gal and the 2.5 is also Aqueon. The fry are safe in their plastic breeding cart, and the other 14 are almost 2 months old, so they are doing well.    I'm not quite sure by keeping the filter media wet? I don't exactly know what that means. Haha I'm sorry.

Hello!   I have some questions about adding things to my tank. When my Gold Dust Molly had 14 fry, we had to rush out to the store to buy a 10 gallon tank so we could fit the breeding tank in with mama Buzz.   It was from one fish in a 2.5 gallon to 14 fry and one adult Molly in a 10 Gallon...

I have an Aqueon QuietFlow 10 power filter and wash the cartridges under cold water before putting them in the filter.   What about using the bottled water with the Prime? Is that okay? It's the good stuff - FIJI It says it's pH is 7.7

If she is a Molly, she probably is! If you just got her from the pet store she is  probably already preggers. If you have male Mollies in the tank then DEFINITELY. Mollies are the rabbits of the water world. They breed efficiently.   I bought my Molly and took this picture and less than 2 days...

Wow. SO AMAZING! 

So nice! I bet the fishies are nice and happy!

Wow that looks amazing! I hope my 10 gal will look like that someday! So pretty!

Hello! (Main question in bold if you don't want to read the whole back story!)     A quick back story, I purchased a Gold Dust Molly from Petco after my Betta passed away because they said it would be okay in a 2.5 gal filtered tank. (THANKS A LOT, PETCO!) Anyways, one day later she had 14 fry...

Oh my! Looks like I'll need to do some shopping here soon!

Thank you so much! They are sooooo cute I'm so proud. =]

Thank you! I feel like I need to be on the Fish version of Maury. Ha ha ha!

Hahaha! Pardon my mistake. It is most definitely still 2013. I am not a time traveler.      When are they mature enough to start mating?

Hello all!   I am slowly but surely gaining some experience as a fish enthusiast. Is that what you'd call it? Hahaha!   Anyways, a month ago, my beautiful Gold Dust Molly gave birth to 14 lil fries. This is what momma Buzz looks like:   [sharedmedia=core:attachments:71012]   As the fry have...

Thanks! Was just looking around watching the fishies when I spotted another newborn who must have been hiding and gorging on food! He's got a big belly but he's now with the other newborns. =]

Thank you so much!

Hi! Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. I've been quite busy with doctors appointments, new medications, and all around anorexia recovery!    I posted in the Livebearer forums on August 26th concerning my Adult Female Molly. I thought she was pregnant but hadn't had any babies yes...
