Hello Rita. Is there any way that you can post a picture?
Here is a link (NOTE: it has some graphic images of fish disease) that you may find helpful. Best of luck.

It could be that your molly just has some natural orange colored spots in its body. If it doesn't look like an open injure that's what I am inclined to think it is.

I saw a white molly the other day in a post that also had orange on it and had red eyes. I guess it was an albino molly. The orange was natural. hmmmmm

I'm not sure how to put a picture on this site but here it goes.

This is best I could do the little fish would not let me take a picture. Kept hidden from me. hope this can help you if not let me know and I'll try again.
the Orange spot are by his fins.

Thanks for posting the picture. It sure is a beautiful fish. I am inclined to think the orange is natural. Let's see what some others have to say. I've personally never seen a disease that starts out as orange

Rita

Thank you for your reply
I feel little bit better about the orange on the fish.

Most likely it is a form of fin rot. A local pet store should have several remedies to chose from

Hello Rita. I was getting confused for a minute then I realized this is a dulicate thread. Has the spot spread since your last post?

I've merged the threads.
Please only one thread for an issue. It makes it confusing to keep track of what's alread benn suggested.

It looks to be natural, but I think a better picture would definitely help.
