My black molly has some small white spots on his back and stomach :no: I don't know what to do... i am new with tropical fish and have only had goldfish in the past. he/she? is in a 2.5 gallon tank with a neon, orange/red molly, balloon bellied molly, a striped fish... kind unknown and a dwark aquarium frog. i have noticed that the balloon bellied molly (my sister's fish) tends to chase my black molly... could it be the culprit of the eye problem? i have no other tanks and only a goldfish bowl that could be used for isolation in an emergency... what should i do... please help me save my poor fish! :sad:
 
do you have any testing kits like ammonia, nitrites and nitrates, ph also. That sounds like to many fish for a 2.5 gallon the rule of thumb for keeping fish is a inch per gallon. Heres what you need to do get you some aquarium salt and use you fish bowl make you up a salt bath for the mollie that has the swollen eye and the spots i'm not for sure how much salt you use for a salt dip but it should tell you on the box how to do it. Or mabey some here can speak up and tell you how.You need to invest in a bigger tank like a 10 gallon soon that is way to many fish for that small of a tank.
