Right,

I now consider my 125g fully stocked, it was more or less fully stocked before I added my Apistogramma cacatuiodes-super red which are dwarf cichlids but I couldnt resist the m and f pair in the shop.

then the male molly I have on his own took a fancy to the m cichlid and I was worried about him harrasing him to death so bough 4 f mollys (I will be moving fish about dont worry)

Now here is where the problem comes, one of the f mollys I noticed straight away that something isnt right. She was swimming in circles in the bag before I added any tank water and one of her eyes is completed black and cloudy. On doing research I believe she has an internal fungal infection. For now I have seperated her into a tank alone while I help her recover but is there hope? she looks like she is in pain and I want to do everything I can to help her so I would appreciate any advice.

The fish I have in there will take care of any molly fry so I am not worried about that .

I would suggest using pimafix to treat your molly. Make sure to use to correct dosage.
It treats internal and external fungal infections.

Is there anything I can do to make her more comfortable? I hate seeing fish suffer

If you don't feel she is going to make it, you have the option of euthanizing her.
I found this website which gives some options:

It says its for goldfish, but I'm sure it could work for all fish.

I'm really sorry! I hope she gets better for you, and that you don't have to make that tough decision.

I have considered it but I am giving her a few days to try and pull her through first, it wont be as hard as if it was my other fish which I am attached to but it is still hard.

Edit: sorry my bf wanted me to add that animals dying makes him cry so she has to pull through (I swear he is getting more into fish than I am he runs straight over to the bettas and extra tanks when we go to the LFS haha)

The best thing you can do right now is dose her fast or the problem will rise.

Bes wishes.

I am in the uk so when you told me to does her all the shops were closed, I bought her closing time over here.

She seems better this morning but I am sure that her spine is curved. How will this affect her?

ynaggo

Spine curved as in sideways or up and down

Diggly

side ways, her tail seems stuck in a fixed position, pointing to the left.

Right well she was alot worse this afternoon and was swimming so erratically that she injured her other eye and was hitting the glass.

I am sad to say that the best thing I believed I could do was put her to sleep. I would like to believe that the 2 short days I had her were as comfortable as possible. Thank you all for your help.
