Help, mollie poorly :(

[TerrilouiseCarlin]

One of my black mollies has gone really thin, the other fish look perfect, none of its fins are spread no spots or anything just looks awful i have neons so it shouldnt be water because they are more delicate so surely they would be ill too? Im just starting with my tank so im new to all this. Advice would be a great help..

Is it swimming normally and eating? What is you m/f ratio?

 

[TerrilouiseCarlin]

Im sorry but if u mean male female then i have 2 males to 3 females

 

[TerrilouiseCarlin]

Yes eating, swimming isnt great because its not using tail properly

for every 1 male u need two+ females

I asked that when ibrought them i originally had 2 males 2 females and 2 female platys from the shop, but my grandma had one mollie in her tank so she gave it away because it was lonely so we had it.

Either return 1 of the males or get 1+ more females.
