Please help Pepper

[Arizonagrace]

Pepper is a 1 month old dalmation molly baby. She appears to have bloat. Her belly is huge and as far as I can tell the scales on her top are sticking up a bit. I added some fungus clear. The water parameters are perfect, temp at 80, salt added to their tank. She is in a 10 gallon tank with some other molly babies and a few guppy fry. She has been perfectly happy and healthy up until yesterday.

Will fungus clear hurt or help her? What should I do. She is my favorite baby and I don't want to lose her.

Pepper is looking better today for the bloat. At least her belly is back to almost normal. The med has been in there for 2 days. She is still fin clamped and look very listless. Any suggestions?

read the sticky on bloat for full details. Generally fasting for a few days then feed crushed green peas will help.

Pepper appeared to be doing well, and then suddenly today she died.

sorry for the loss... hopefully no one else will get sick... Do you know what caused it?

I really don't know what caused it. All the other fry seem to be doing well.
