Default Ich gone; now fungus?
In article ,
says...
Is it mostly your mollies getting sick? Your water may be too soft for
them. Mollies seem to like either hard or slightly salty water. Plants
will tolerate 1 tsp/5 gallons of salt (0.02%) and sometimes even that
much helps mollies stay well.

The mollies are where we notice the ich and the fungus, since most of
them are black, but there are also danios and neon tetras in the
tank, and I assume they are also affected - and not easily treated
with salt. Yes, the water is soft; I wonder if that's part of the
problem. What could I do about that?
