Help one of my mollies has a coat that looks like cotton all around it . It is also swimming upside down . Should be dead soon but I just wanna know if anyone know whats wrong with it . All water conditions are good n she was the only sick fish in the tank . I removed her so she can die in peace .
 
74 - 80 up n down as the day goes on
 
Google columnaris to see if that is indicative of what your molly has. If so, it is highly contagious and you could lose fish to it even without them showing symptoms first.

I would suggest a 50% water change on this tank.

And I agree that you need to stabilize your temperature. By not doing so, your fish are being unnecessarily stressed, which can lead to illness.
 
Just did a 100% water change after cleaning everything moved all fish out until my temp get right n I replaced the heater so now it should be fine I'll put the fish in early next week but she died like 30sec. After my post I'm about to check and see what she had
 
Thanks for the help it is columnaris
