My mollies are sick with something. Not sure what. I posted in unhealthy fish about it. I'm treating them anyway and moved them to their own little tank. One gave birth last night in the new tank, but I woke up to yellow things all over the tank and then started seeing dead babies. I picked them out. I ended up with 21 dead fry - some full grown but stomachs were open, some heads, some yokes with eyes and a lot of eggs by themselves in the tank. Has anyone else experienced this before? Is it common for this to happen if they fry inside are sick as well or if mom is stressed or sick? I've been so sad about it all day. I honestly didn't even know if she was pregnant or bloated from being sick. I had to pick them all out and just wanted to cry. :(
 
Oh dear that's terrible! Poor things. Wish I could help but I don't have any experience.
