Black Molly With White Spots (don't Think It's Ick)

[twoplustwo]

These spots appeared basically overnight. The fish is no longer eating, and mostly resting on the bottom. It's male partner is showing 2 of these spots as well. Any ideas what it might be, and how to treat?

Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.


The mouth looks like cotton wool.
It could be columnaris on the body.
Any signs of flicking and rubbing, laboured breathing, darting, excess mucas.


For columnaris in the uk myxazin by waterlife and pimafix.

29g tank
3 fish - 2 black and 1 dalmation molly

Stats as of 3 days ago were Ammonia = 2, Nitrite 1, Nitrate 5, and ph 7.8 (been cycling with fish for about 3 weeks). I've been doing 30% water changes every 2nd day.

I have not tested the water since as I have been treating the tank with API Liquid Super Ick Cure thinking the issue was Ick. When I started the meds (3 days ago), the male black showed 2 white spots, and the female (pictured above) looked fine. Overnight, the female went from eating/behaving/looking normally to its current state.

No signs of flicking/rubbing.. it's basically just resting on the bottom. The male is behaving normally.

FYI - I'm in Canada

If there tiny white spots it could be whitespot.
The mouth on one of the fish looks fluffy like cotton wool.

Fish can also get columnaris spots. There bigger than whitespot and will look a greyish white with a tinging of red to them. On the outside of the spot or a red spot in the centre of the spot.
