help! fuzzy molly!

[zoea_warnick]

i have a few mollys and i am breeding them so ive kept a close eye since this is my first time. in the last 3 hours my orange molly is covered in a thich velvet and her tail is clamped. she is also staying towards the bottom. i put in a few drops of ick cure to see if that will help but in the meantime i want to ex0lore the alternatives. they dont come in contact with any other fish, i have the 5 mollies separated from all the other fish but that one molly is the only affected one. help?

Hello; Likely a fungus infection. If the slime coat of a fish gets damaged a fungal infection may result. Do a search for this as there are information sites with pictures.

Sounds like a fungal infection to me, is it possible to get a clearer picture, i'd do a water change being careful not to disturb her, and try and get some melafix,
