Posted Advice needed please!

I have 27 mollies that are 7 weeks old. Most are white but some of them are white with black spots (dalmation). The dalmation ones have developed some small yellowy/orange patches underneath their bodies and i wondered if anyone knew what they might be.

Nitrate levels got a bit high last week, but i have dealt with that by doing a water change and moving some of them out into my big tank, so not sure if that had anything to do with it.

The fish aren't showing any signs of ill health apart from 2 that are acting a bit strange in that they are sort of shimmying from side to side quite a bit!

Has anyone got any idea what this might be and if i need to treat it, please? I dont want to lose any of these fish if possible!

Thanks

at a guess i would say that you are possibly over feeding, fry should be fed a very small amount 4 times a day and do a daily 10% water change. di
