Just finished my fallow period after losing a few fish from velvet. I went to the lfs last night and got some black mollies hoping to check before I put my quarantined and last surviving fish from the DT.
Bought 3 lyre tail mollies as the black mollies had ich and were sick already.
Within a few hours all 3 mollies were stuck agains the overflow. Dead. Don’t think they acclimated well. They didn’t appear to have anything on their bodies as of yet. But I’m guessing just try again with some more mollies or trust that my fallow was successful?
I drop acclimated them over 3 hours with a heater in the tank to keep the same temp.
I’ve read the black mollies, sailfin mollies, and balloon mollies are the best to transition to salt water.
is there any other way to transition mollies to salt?
or other ways to test for velvet and ick?
