      If you did not overfeed and pretty sure it didn't find food laying around I would start to worry.

      Worst case scenario... egg-bound if female, Internal parasites, digestive tract problems.

        ohhhhh dangnabbit....
        This tank is having a fungus issue I believe since a few of the black mollies are kinda of ...dusty looking?  I binoxed the tank 3 days ago and awaking the results.... after the power being out for 13 days...this was one of the tanks that didn't get the bubbler very much at all.  I couldn't add any fresh water because without power, I had not water...and I haven't totally trusted the water yet to do full 75% water changes.
        you can see two of the others with him in one of the pics... they look fine.  How would i help an egg bound female if that is the case?
        Suggestions?

          I have had good luck with Epsom salt baths in this case and bumping temps up slightly.

          Also try to feed less during treatments to keep from adding onto the problem if there is actually one.

              Not aquarium salt. Epsom salt.... magnesium sulfate.

                Do hope it gets to feelin better.    Kinda looks like a weeble though.

                  Epsom salt should do the trick.....

                  how old are they?

                    How is your cory? Has there been any change?
