I dont think you had dropsy. Your pH is still too low for mollies, and
as stated by Dick in another post, Mollies can be difficult. Make sure
your ammonia and nitites are 0 and stay there. Again KH is very
important, especially for mollies.
You can treat with Pimafix or a stronger treatment of
Kanacy/Nitrofurazone, but until your aquarium has the right conditions
all the medications in the world will not help.

Glad to here your pH is increasing, and sorry to hear about your latest
loss.

Good luck, Carl

Thanks for the input.im gonna get all the testin kits at weekend to
save on running to the shop everytime i need a water sample tested.
Actually think my 3 pregnant fish (mollie and 2 guppies are going to
pop soon so will have lots more to contend with shortly. will keep a
post goin when they do finally. and will also post about tank as it
progresses. thanks for all the help tho. its has helped alot and ive
learnt alot in the last few days
