I don't know why...I had a black, and orange molly, have had them since I got my tank several months ago. All my other fish are totally fine, my water levels have always been good, and are right now, ph is around 7.6. They both have died the same way, they seem healthy, but you can tell they were starting to get a little less active, a little weaker. Both ended up getting stuck to the filter intake, but were still alive. This happened to the black one a few weeks ago, the orange one just tonight.
My only thoughts are maybe they were underfed? I know they love to eat, and they were always on top looking for food, but I fed them a decent amount everyday. I added a peice of driftwood about a month ago, that lowered my ph a bit, and probably softened the water a little, maybe that has something to do with it. I do still have a little baby molly, he's still doing great.
