also she is breathing really heavily.
a couple of months ago i went to the pet shop and they were selling baby mollys. there grown up now but one is still really small, she's red and has given birth once and and looks like a beach ball. shes not pregant now but she has always been that way. she also has really long fins. but now i have started to notice that she cant swim well at tall. all she does is lie on a water lilly and if she falls of then she can't swim and just sinks, but if you push her up then she can swim back to it. also shes losing her colour. please help what wrong with her?
all the other fish are fine, so why ids it only happening to her?
 
ahh she got the disease.. I bet she got white patches on her or losing color and turning white.....

Thats fatal prolly she will be dead in a day or two, but if u really wanna save her go to the aquarium and tell them about her and they will give u a blue color liquid to put in the water... hurry before its too late.
 
She actually could still be pregnant. Mollies are live-bearers and they often store sperm, which allows them to give birth week after week.

Other than that, I think that she's sick. I don't know enough about fish illnesses yet to be able to tell you what I think it is. But how often do you change the water? Have you checked the Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate levels in your tank? As well as pH? Are you familiar with the Nitrogen Cycle?
 
what are u feeding them? I know that your vaginal juices will kill them lololololol!!!!!!!!!
 
there could be a few things wrong here. First, as was mentioned, molly's can store sperm for up to 5 sets of fry and yes she could still be pregers here. However you said her color is off. It sounds to me like she is fry or as they call it egg bound. this is then a younger or genetically deficient female fish becomes bound due to various reasons and the fry either over develop and she cannot pass them or eggs become bound inside not allowing the fish to expell them. For this there is really nothing you can do but wait and let nature take its course. DO NOT squeeze your fish this can cause her to hemorage and you won't save the fry.

She could also have a serious case of bloat. Not dropsy but bloat. If her scales have not started to stick out more than likely it is bloat. Add 1 tablepoon of Epsom Salt per 10 gallons of water. Remember Epsom salt is not salt but electrolites. This will help your fish to process waters thru her system to expell the excess water she is carrying.
