Liliana Araoz Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 So I found out this white molly has what I believe is red spot disease (correct me if wrong) I have qt her in a 2.5g ...(my hospital tank is full of angelfish babies) I thought at the beginning it was like, ...her guts showing or something because she’s so light colored she looks a bit translucent , but I noticed her head slightly changed to pink ish... but today is red and her side has a red spot too. I am treating with erythromycin, and added a bit of aquarium salt. But any other advice appreciated She's one of my fav fish, I have her in a 60 gallon community tank. I have her with 2 veil angels, 2 more mollies, a hillstream loach, a yoyo loach and a bunch of black neons (8 or 9) and zebra danios (also 8 ish), 8 ottos, 10 nerites and a shitload of mini ramshorns (the itty bitty ones). It's a heavily planted tank. Everybody else is perfectly fine. There is no aggression from anyone (I observe a lot) Parameters: pH 7.4, ammonia/nitrites 0, nitrates 25-30 ish. I did a wc yesterday, 50% Thank you in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Manifesto Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 This could've been an injury, or it might be something internal, either way 14 hours ago, Liliana Araoz said: I am treating with erythromycin, and added a bit of aquarium salt. I would just keep the treatment up and monitor everything. Not much but to wait and see at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much but to wait and see at this point. It is most def not an injury. It has become a bit worse every day. I noticed she’s got super tiny little red dots on her body... she’s on qt now with meds... lets see how she does today 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
