Explanation

The black molly fish died because the water was too hot. Fish are ectothermic animals, meaning their body temperature is regulated by the surrounding environment. If the water temperature becomes too high, it can cause stress and even death for the fish. 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.

Therefore, the correct answer is false.
