Years ago when I had my first 10g I got a Black Molly who had little black babies... I knew nothing and babies died within a week and the mother died within a month. When I first got my tank this last September I wanted Black Mollies, but wound up with Dalmatian. In the next weeks I added a Creamsicle, Silver, and then finally a Black... The black, Sophia, contracted Camallanus from my male Dalmatian and died... She was deep black and appeared healthy when I got her. She wound up dying within a month.
I got another Black one, Remi, and she got some sort of weird bacterial infection on her body and began to have gray patches on her side and died after 2 weeks.
Once again, (I'm DETERMINED HERE!!), I got a Black one, Vixen, for Christmas. She hasn't grown any and isn't very deep black. She eats and chases the others around... Only has her top fin up half the time... I'm probably just afraid of losing her and being a little hypochondriac.
Does anyone have an idea if Black Mollies have poor or weaker genes than other Mollies?
