Brian Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Tank size? How many do you have? Number of males? Females? Other tank mates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now that they have been treated, their health and attitude have improved and hence they are feeling frisky? That and the heat will increase your mollies activity level.

Samanthabea Posted March 23, 2021 Author Share Posted March 23, 2021 They were in a 55 gallon I'm not sure if they are male or female haven't been able to tell yet but it's 4 ghost shrimp 4 mollies and a platty that survived I have just moved them into a 6.5 gallon tank( I know it's a little small but that's all they had at the store and I wanted to change the gravel to aquarium dirt to try to kill most of the ich eggs and for the shrimp) and to Daniel yes they were very inactive most of the time all of them were just resting on the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mynameisnobody Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 @Samanthabea Go to the Aquarium Coop online store and purchase the med trio. Included is Ich-X, this will be the last ich medication you will need. It’s been tested and proven a ton. Also go to the Coop’s YouTube page, look up med trio, and have Cory guide you as to quarantining fish, etc. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwayne Brown Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 From what I have heard about mollies and expeirienced with endlers livebeares. What you may be expieriencing is a few males trying to mate with a few females. In my expiereince this usually involves almost nonstop chasing they dont fin nip it just looks like it.

Dwayne Brown Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I have never used ich treatment i just used aquarium salt and did water changes. Did you use the amount of salt the directions say to use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
