I am no expert when it comes to diseases or fungi so I am sure someone will be able to help you in that respect. However I do know that by separating the fish you are going to cause further stress and if there is anything particularly wrong then the fish that is already stressed may not be able to fight it off with treatment. Also if there is a fungus it will be in your whole tank not just one fish so you will have to treat all of them. Again I'm not expert so I apologise if I have given wrong information.

hmmm so u think i should return it back to the main tank ?
 
No dont return it back. There is a chance that this is the only fish affected. That definately doesn't look like ich. I'm thinking fungal, but the video was a tad hard to see.
 
what about this one hope u can c it from here

How big is the small tank and it does have a heater and filter right?
 
this isn't tank, its crystal where i treat them, and no there isn't filter or heater as its 1 fish and its summer which its 26c lol all i did is treated it with anti bacteria thats why the water kinda green
 
I thought you said you put it in a small tank? Also no filter will mean daily water changes which may stress the fish.
 
ya but my molly just give frys today so i had to move it to that tank :p ( after cleaning it ofc ) and putted that sick fishy in that crystal, anyhow how will i treat her ?
 
I'm not sure what it has and would advise to add nothing and monitor for 1 day then see how it is, then hopefully somebody can help you if it worsens.
 
I am moving this thread to the tropical emergencies section. There are people there who can actually help with various disease problems. That is not ich, white spot, on your molly's tail.
 
Ok guys after yesterday loong researching the internet i discoverd that it have some sord of bacterial disease so i treated it yesterday with Anti-Bacteria and today i found that spot began to dissolve so i think it began its right treatment, will be updating u guys soon :)
