  1. Did you see if they have white wooly patches? That can be fungus. Did you also see if they have tiny white dots on them? that cab be ick. Black mollies are brackish fish so they require aquarium salt (NOT table salt) also did you see if the female has a big tummy? She can be pregnant and can be stressed. To tell female mollies and male mollies is the male will have a anal fin and on the tip of that fin will be white. Also the male will have a mohawk top fin. The female will have a roundish ovalish topfin and her anal hole will have a white ring around it.


  2. have u added some salt into the water mollies like it 1 teaspoon to every 5 litres also hard alkaline water with temp of 23-25c lighting in the tank for 8-10 hours a day  

  3. your fishes could have dropsy.
