High temperatures can lead to a decrease in oxygen levels in the water, making it difficult for the fish to breathe. It can also disrupt their metabolic processes and weaken their immune system, making them more susceptible to diseases. Therefore, the hot water was likely the cause of the black molly fish's death.Rate this question:
