Help what is this!!? -- spot on molly

[nnacho528]

This is my black molly what is it.

The second picture is a medicine I have, should I use it?

The fuzzy white area on her head looks like it may be columnaris which is a bacterial infection & can only be treated with antibiotics. The quick cure will nothing for it. Are you able to qt her?

 

[jlk]

Forgot to ask but what are your water parameters (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate)?

 

[nnacho528]

should I make my bubbler higher or lower to get rid of the cloumnaris?

 

[bruinsbro1997]

I think you'll need more than a bubbler to get rid of columnaris.

Edit: if not columnaris, it looks like fungus.

If it is columnaris move FAST! It can kill fish in a matter of hours and wipe out entire tanks if not treated quickly.
If she is still ok and it hasn't gotten any worse you can probably assume you don't have a columnaris outbreak. It maybe a fungus.

So far she is fine, she used to be wiggling at the surface, but I added salt, turned up the bubbler, lowered amount of hrs of light, and lowered temp. She is swimming normally now and the white thing on her lip is slowly disappearing
