Hi all, am a little new to tropical fish keeping, and so the info below may not be as complete as you'd like 
but I will try my best!
Request Help
Tank size: hexagonal, 9" each side, 18" height (210"squared surface area) approx 15 US gal.
pH: ?
ammonia: 0.0
nitrite: 0.0
nitrate: 5
kH: ?
gH: ?
tank temp: 25c
Fish Symptoms (include full description including lesion, color, location, fish behavior):
The fish is a new black molly, purchased today, and didn't notice until I got it back that it has white around it's mouth. It won't keep still long enough for me to take a photo, though. Can't decide if it is furry looking, or just white around it's mouth.
Volume and Frequency of water changes:
approx 15 US Gal, 20% weekly
Chemical Additives or Media in your tank: Activated carbon in the filter, and filter sponge. No chemicals other than tap safe.
Tank inhabitants: 2x male molly, 4x female molly, 1x male betta, lots of live plants!
Recent additions to your tank (living or decoration):
2x female black mollies, today.
Exposure to chemicals:
None
Digital photo (include if possible):
Won't keep still long enough...
As I said above, I'm not sure that it is cotton-wool like or anything, was just a bit shocked when I saw it. Do black mollies sometimes have some white on them? It's just around her mouth.
I unfortunately do not have a hospital tank just yet, but may be able to get hold of one tomorrow if I need to?
Any advice would be greatfully received!
Many thanks!
