My molly has gotten severely skinny, not eating, and sitting at the top of the tank isolated. I tried feeding it food that was right in front of it and it wouldn’t eat. It was fine yesterday. Last time this happened with one of my fish, it died around a week later, i’m not sure what to do.
Molly Acting Weird?

Yes it is, i’ve had this tank for about two months.
What are your readings for ammonia, nitrIte, and nitrAte?
How about ph, GH, and KH?
I believe I threw away my water tests around last week, however everything was in the normal except water was very hard
You need a liquid test kit on hand at all times to test your water params...get one of these ASAP

I'm betting poor water quality is affecting your fish in a negative way.

Would you still think it’s the case if only one fish seems sick? The rest are acting normal since I got them
You definitely need a water test kit. I suggest the API Freshwater Master Test Kit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000255NCI/?tag=ff0d01-20
If you can’t get a test kit in a timely manner, ask your LFS to test your water for you. Usually they will do it for free. (Ask for Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate, and pH)

No, it looks like it may be an internal issue, possibly worms. Have you noticed any white/stringy poop?
A little bit yes, it would vary in colors within time to be honest with ya
Yes; fish suffer in varying degrees.
The first step in diagnosing any problems, IMO, is testing your water.
Just ordered one btw, ill remember to update when it comes
I wish people would read the pinned titles. For example, at the top of the emergency section where this thread was created, there are 4 pinned titles. One of them is called "What to do if your fish has stringy white poop". The link is below. Read part 2, because is probably what's wrong.
Internal protozoan infection.
