sick black molly

[sim1killa]

yesterday, I noticed half of my black molly's body turned a foggy white color and it was swimming upright. I setup a 10g hospital tank and put a api fugus cure tablet into the tank (suggested by lfs)

My main question is can I feed the fish while it is beginning treated it and for how long should I treat.

the directions suggest one tablet every 2 days then on the 4th day to run carbon to clean the water and to do a 25% water change.

Thanks,
Joe

Hi if the molly will eat, then i would feed the poor thing. Also what temperature are you running the tank at?As mollies like it quite warm. Also they like the water that is very hard {High P/H}

Some non iodized salt in the tank will help some also. Mollies do better, and have less health problems in a brackish environment. Like previously posted they need hard higher PH water.
