Okay. Have treated these guys for over a week now with lower temp, salt and maracyn & maracyn 2. They seem to be doing better. I see no fungus on their mouths at all and they all have very healthy appetites.

They do, however still have their mouths open as if they can't close them. Does this mean they are still infected, or is this damage from the disease? Should I keep treating them?

I have other mollies I really need to put in that tank, but want to be sure they are okay before introducing the others. Is it necessary to remove all decorations and plants and wash them after the illness?

to what extent was the original infection on the mouth?

I lost a few fish from the fungus, and it was bad on them. But, on the remaining ones, it wasn't terrible. Just a bit of fungus. But, as I have said, their mouths are still open, even though there is no sign of fungus on their mouths anymore.

still treat them.
