I noticed my balloon Molly obtained some golden scales, I just wanted to make sure they weren't a disease. They don't look bumpy in any way, so I think he just changed colors a bit. Do you guys think these yellow dots are from a disease of some sort? Thanks!

In my experience, this happens sometimes to mollies. Most of the fish are not pure-color bred so they might change color during their life-span.

I have a white sailfin molly and he start to get black dots all over his body as he gets older

Okay thanks!

Hey guys so it has been a little while after I noticed these spots and I just wanted to let you know that I don't think it is a disease, but the spots sort of look like velvet. I just want to make sure that it isn't velvet. Please reply soon!! Thanks in advanced!!
