This is a big breeder I just purchased. She's bout 3 inches,bought her bout 3 days ago and pregnant. She spit out 40 fry last night,as soon as I quarantined her.
I'm breeding for food for other fish so I cannot have any disease. Have bout 160 fry at the moment.
Back in the 1960s, columnaris had the nickname "live bearers disease".
It was very common when the hybrid/line bred livebearer craze was in its heyday.
I would not feed any fry to my fish, from the tank that that molly was in.

I agree. You should quarantine them for at least a month. They should get to be a decent size as feeders too.
Its hard to tell if that is columnaris, but those symptoms look right, yet there are a number of other bacterial and fungal infections that present in the same way.
