Ich, velvet, or cotton?

Today I was observing my dalmatian molly and she appears to have some kind of white fuzz or patch atop her head. Of course, with her being white, it is hard to see but if you watch her from the side you can see the slight raise.

None of my other fish seem to have it yet, and I have her isolated in a separate container for now.

I figured it could be ich, velvet, or cotton disease?

I need advice, as I have 2 scaleless fish in my tank as well, and I don't want to use any medication that may hurt them.

I'll try to get a photo, but it is very hard to see.

(Side note: this same molly also has a few minor injuries to her scales on her sides. I purchased her that way as to save her from being picked on.)

 

Do you know your water parameters? Also a picture would help as well.

Ich is multiple tiny dots spreaded throughout a fishes body, that doesnt sound like the case. Velvet is small dusty yellow patches that reflect at certain angles. So this sounds more like fungus/ cottonwool to me.

Keep her in the qt tank. Is it filtered, heated & cycled? API Furan -2 & Fungus Cure both help with fungus.

 

please put up a pic so u can get the right info

 

It turned out to be fungus ^^ one fuzzy patch on her head.

I have put her back in the main tank as the other fish were beginning to show symptoms as well, and I'm treating the whole tank with Pimafix.

Primafix wont help much with fungal infections. I reccomend using heavier medication

 

Methylene Blue is (arguably) the best, safest med for fungal infections.
