Good golly, dead Mollies! Two fish die during first weekend

Our aquarium community was stunned to discover the partially-eaten corpses of two mollies this morning. Coral, a female marble molly, and Darf, a male black molly, were found dead near the right-front corner of the aquarium.

Both corpses were removed and, following aquarium ritual, were immediately flushed. No autopsies were performed, but the medical examiner cited "natural causes" as the official cause of death for both fish.

"We observed some abnormally distressed breathing patterns coming from Coral on Friday," the tankkeeper said Monday, "but we attributed that to stress caused by chasing Darf around the aquarium, as she often did with Aubrey, the other marble molly."

Aubrey and Fatty, the surviving mollies, appear unfazed by the weekend deaths of their fellow mollies. All other fish (and frog) appeared in good health today.
