I acquired 4 Dalmatian mollies from petsmart three days ago and one of them isn't eating and appears to have lost weight. Any advice?
 
I have a handful of Dalmations also, and all seem to be eating with quite an appetite. Could be the food or as has happened to me it could be a breeding one.
 
If you can, isolate the fish and put some salt in the water. Mollies are actually from brackish water, but adapt so well to fresh, it is the way they are sold most of the time. But if it is sick, salt may help.

If there are no salt sensitive fish in the tank, put salt in the whole tank if you cannot isolate the fish.
