I have only just joined, as I am very new to keeping fresh water fish. I have two aquariums, one is only a 20 litre tank and the other is 70 litres. I have 2 Platys, 2 Swordtails, numerous Guppys and three Mollys. I really love the Mollys, but I have lost the last three I had. I also have two Clown Loaches as I had a problem with snails, as was advised that they would eat them for me.
This time decided to try one more time. I have only been testing the PH levels, as our local Pet Store has told me that is all that is required. I have taken samples of my water to them for testing, and have been told all other levels are good.
I currently have a gold Molly with red marks on each side of her body towards the back, I only noticed some white marks on her yesterday and now have her isolated in a jug with some salt added, as I am not sure what it is she has or what else to do with her. Any suggestions on how to treat her and also why I don't seem to be able to keep Mollys successfully would be greatly appreciated.
I have also read conflicting reports on whether to add salt to the Aquarium or not, at this stage I have not.
I am looking forward to learning on this forum, as I really enjoy the fish.
