One of my mollys the siver male always seems to look skinny the others have always been fine and have little bellys. He eats well ive treated the whole tank not long ago as he seemed to have ich and was scratching on things.He had lost his silver colouring back then and had the shimmys. He seems to be doing much better after the treatment and has his colour back better than ever so he seems healthy and also so much happier since turning the tank brackish. Could this just be the way he is? Or should i be concerned?

Usually after being sick, fish like humans slowly recover to their full selves. Maybe it's still in recovery period. Wait a few days and see how your Molly is then.

Its been about 2 weeks since they were all treated so its been a while and no change in weight i feed them a varied diet. frozen Brine shrimp and blood worms once or twice a week, shrimp pellets every other day, spirulina wafers and tropical fish pellets twice a day. They also have a planted tank with duck weed floating for them to help themselves to. So he should be getting a bit bigger i just done want him to end up dying if it ends up being a problem i saved him out of my partners sisters pond, they had them in their to feed the oscar so i scooped 3 silver mollys and 3 platys out and they came home with me! They were the first bunch i had in the tank im kinda attached to them. My second chance fish :)
