mollie woes help needed

[the returner]

hi , i have 3 black mollies , thet have developed cotton wool like growths all over their bodys, one female has them over both eyes too, the eyes look cloudy and a bit like a bubble. in the same tank i have 1 peppered cat , 1 rtb shark , 1 koolie and 4 guppys, 2 swordtails . the guppys are fine , the shark & cat are fine but swordtails aint showing any symptoms other than being a bit sulky and hiding away a little. is it whitespot or lymphocystis ? im quite new to keeping tropicals so i need some help ! i have treated them for whitespot but im not 100% certain. also will the others catch it to? whats the best thing to do ? plz help

easy one this, They have white spot or white fungi, This is a thing mollies pick up easily, But are the easiest to spot it on.
I use mollies as a monitor fish for this fungi.
Just get white velvet or white spot cure and bobs your uncle, But keep carbon out of media filter

Good luck B)

yea sounds like fungi

mollies are tough critters though. I know, 'cause I have them and they're the type I kill most infrequenly! just kidding. Mine are tough, though.
