I have 3 mollies and one of the eyes is popped out more than the other one? Is this normal? And do they change color becuase the one with the eye problem is turning silver and she is white.

Thanks!

Mollies can suffer from popeye just like goldfish. It would generally be a bacterial infection causing this. Sometimes with good water quality it would rectify itself. Are the mollies in a tank that is cycling?

No, but now it is back to normal!! Thanks> Is there any drops that i can get to remove bacteria from the tank?

I think so,maybe,... i forgot what its called though.You should
really check your water levels just incase. It might have been that.
What are you feeding them?,

Frequent water changes, with gravel vacs are the best thing to keep your water in good shape. Also, make sure to clean your filter media once a week or so.

UV sterilizers are good for keeping the tank clear of unwanted bacteria, however they are expensive.
