Just noticed on a few of my mollies a while fuzz on their eyes, mouths and fins, is it fungus? Not sure what to do. Have some white spot and fungus treatment will that work?

Tried turning resolution down for photo and video but it won’t work. Also have 4 molly fry that have it and they ask just hovering about shaking like a leaf aswell as our Dalmatian molly.
 
This sounds like a water issue rather than fungus as such. What is the GH (general hardness), pH and temperature?

I cannot offer help with photos, hopefully others may as seeing this would help us advise.
 
How long has the tank been set up for?

How often do you do water changes and how much water do you change?
Do you gravel clean the substrate when you do a water change?
Do you dechlorinate the new water before adding it to the tank?

How often do you clean the filter and how do you clean it?

What is the ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH and GH of the water?

We need photos.

Make sure the camera's resolution is on its lowest setting. Take some pictures and check them on your computer. Find a couple that clearly show the problem and post them on here. If they still don't fit you will need to find a free image hosting website and upload the pictures to that website. Then copy & paste the link to the pictures and put it here.

Make a short 20 second video of the fish. If you are using a mobile phone, turn the phone on its side so it's horizontal and the video fills the entire screen. Upload the video to YouTube and copy & paste the link here.
 
If it has grown slowly it could be fungus. If it grows quickly and begins covering the head or face it could be columnaris and needs fast, aggressive treatment with Kanaplex and Furan-2. Get some pics up quickly, please!
