We noticed two or three small white spots on our black molly. We took a few pictures with our webcam (sadly they didn't turn out the best ... ) and here they are:

Btw, our tank is 29gallon freshwater. We have mollies, guppies, bumblebee gobies, cherry barbs, and a few other species of fish. All seemt to be healthy and have only lost one fish so far (a female swordtail)

Here are the pics:

Could it be Ich? :confused:

Thanks for the help!

None of your fish look too healthy from that picture - they look to all be face-down. They shouldn't be. Try to change your water to bring down Ammonia , Nitrite and Nitrate (bad) levels. Did you cycle the tank before you added the fish? How long has it been setup?

Sorry I answered your questions with more questions.
 
As I said the picture isn't a good quaility. None of the fish are face down... we do know enough about fish to know that much. We did cycle the tank before we put fish into it... we test for ph and ammonia every week and all tests have shown up perfectly. We have done a lot of reading on fish but are dumbfounded at the spot on our Molly.

He acts very healthy. He moves his fins, is active, and always is the first to the top of the tank to eat.

Btw, our tank is 29 gallon. And we also have a 10 gallon tank set up as some of our fish are expecting and we're going to put the babies in the tank.
 
If you don't have a Nitrite and Nitrate Test Kit, ask your Local Fish Store (LFS) if they test water. Most do, for free.
