Oops,
I never thought about that. I feed my fishes twice a day but I don't think I over feed them.
Can someone tell me what are the symptoms of dropsy.
Atleast I'm sure that my Molly is pregnant for sure. It has delivered twice this will be 3rd time.

Chk out if there is any sign of stress in those fishes. If they are moving alone and getting disballanced and loosing appetite. If they hit by dropsy they will loose their balance slowly. Do take a close eye on them and their behaviour.
If they are affected, remove them from your main tank immidiately. Not sure abt the medicine to cure dropsy. I lost my 3 mollies for the same reason, 2 weeks back.

None of these fishes are lethargic or have lost appetite actually they have a very good appetite.
I'm still not sure whether they are infected with Dropsy they are swimming fine and have not lost balance.
Even if they are pregnant I don't have a seperate tankt o isolate these guys don't know will shifting them to a bucket with daily water change will help.
