Mollies are very susceptible to bacterial and fungal infections and Will have to be treated which can be accomplished by:I've had this mollie for awhile and I've qt all my fish but recently this guy has been less active and I just noticed him sitting on this rock. Anyone know what this is?
But this won't effect any of my other fish?Mollies are very susceptible to bacterial and fungal infections and Will have to be treated which can be accomplished by:
Freshwater bath
Epsom salt bath
Maracyn 2 for 5 days in a separate tank
It should not but would not be bad to treat them OR you can safely treat Molly with Reef safe Ruby Rally Pro which will treat all fish.But this won't effect any of my other fish?
Nope everthing is normal. Idk about my 3 wrasses there in the sand rnThe Molly is breathing really fast. Are any of the other fish breathing this fast?

Well I'm screwed if my mollie had something contagious because he was in my dt. I'll be keeping a close eye on them but I'm pretty sure the mollie was just getting bullied so it than get a fungal infectionDid the tang and the hawkfish originally come from the tank the molly is in? If not, I wouldn't risk it since those fish have ich and we aren't sure what the molly has.

Yea I get that but if the fish is getting bullied which I've seen in less active and hiding in a corner lately the heavy breathing would make sense. I'll keep an eye on my other fish for sighns of heavy breathing.Just to try and point you in the right direction - external fungal infections, common to freshwater fish, are rare to non-existent in marine fish (salt is actually a cure for that issue). The molly has an external bacterial infection - but that rapid breathing worries me - it could be that the bacterial infection has become systemic, involving the entire fish, but there could also be another issue going on with the molly at the same time.
