Question
14 gallon tank, kept clean with frequent water changes.24 hours ago i noticed white matter on one molly. did some research, found it to resemble flexibacter. put "fungus cure" in. white patch has been reduced by 80%, but molly is sitting at bottom of tank and not eating. should i prepare for the worst? any advice is welcome and much appreciated.......

Answer
Hi Omar,
 Hmmm... that doesn't sound good but never give up on a fish. They can overcome some pretty nasty stuff.   Is it possible that your molly is being attacked by another fish in the tank?
