Need Help - Sick Pregnant molly with tail issues - pictures icluded

[AquaBry]

Just when I was ready to pat myself on the back I realized my black dalmatian molly was hiding under the heater in the main tank. And so I coaxed her out with some food and sure enough both of my dalmatian Mollies are showing a little bit of popeye and the black definitely has some white puffy growths so into the QT they go. I vacuumed the QT gravel did a 75% PWC (since no PWC during treatment) balanced the Aqua salt back up and now 5 more days of Maracyn in the QT. I'll keep watching the other fish in the main tank and will keep you posted. Here are the girls.

It is a good sign that some are definately getting better. You are on the right course. Good for you for spending the time to get them better.

Thanks, I just hate that i didn't catch that these 2 were sick during the first round of treatment but I guess that is why we have QT tanks. To deal with issues as they occur. Happy Holidays.

Well, things are going much better for the most part. The creamcicle molly ended up with a spot on one of her fins so she went back in the QT for treatment along with the 2 dalmatian mollies that were being treated. The treatments ended yesterday and last night I noticed something moving in the tank and here's what i found.

The dalmatian molly gave birth. So I had a rush to isolate the other pregnant molly and get the tank ready for babies with a large PWC since no PWC during treatment. They are too fast for an accurate count but there are currently well over 16 molly fry in the tank and I have 4 other moms that are well on their way to having more.
