Chytrid Fungus (KIT-rid) (Batrachochytrium sp. - Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis) is a fungal pathogen and a major contributor to the decline of amphibian populations around the world, threatening many species with extinction.
Fungus is another common disease that affects fish. Most fungus infections are connected to water moulds from the class Oomycetes. From the many different types of fungi, saprolegnia is most commonly known to affect fish.
True Fungus (cotton wool disease)
They are whitish and fluffy like cotton wool, usually occuring at the site where the fish has a physical injury or abrasion/wear and tear.

The victim show a whitish fungus round the cheeks and lips. The lips may become swollen and rot away. Sometimes a rotten strip of lip attached only at one end will move in and out of the mouth as the fish breathes.
Fungus (Saprolegnia or Achyla)
Fungi are in fact colourless plants, they are very diverse in form and have not been studied that much in fish.
Fungus
Generally, fungus is the result of a sore or wound that removes the protective mucus coating. Quick treatments of any injuries can greatly decrease the risk of fungus developing.
Fungus - Aside from bacteria, fungus can attack the areas on the fish body that has suffered some extent of damage (such as wounds or holes left by parasites).
Fungus And Bacterial Infections
Fungal Infection
Look For: Cottony growths on the mouth or body of the fish. Infected wounds.
Fungus
Primitive plants, lacking chlorophyll. Reproduction through the production of spores. Some species of fungus are parasitic (such as Saprolegnia). See also sewage fungus

Fungus Infection: These fishes seem to be immune to marine 'white spot' disease, since I have never found a specimen with this ailment, even when the rest of the fishes in the tank are heavily infected.

FUNGUS AND BACTERIA INFECTIONS: Although livebearers are a colorful and interesting group of fish, they are very susceptible to fungal and bacterial related diseases when not handled correctly.
Mouth Fungus is so called because it looks like a fungus attack of the mouth. It is actually caused from the bacterium Chondrococcus columnaris.
Disease: Fungus or Cotton Wool (called Cataracts on the eyes)

The eggs look like they have fungus, although the clear up after 24 hours. If the eggs do not clear up in this time, they probably do have fungus. Both parents participate in brood care.
In such water they will be subject to many diseases (Ich and fungus are nightmares in this situation), show poor color, and are likely to be quite stunted in growth.
This prevents infection to her from any torn fins, and is needed in the breeding tank to keep fungus from developing in the eggs. You also need to cover the tank with plastic wrap or glass so that no cooler air is at the surface of the tank.
'Fur Coat Syndrome' is a dermal bacterial infection (though most fishkeepers would consider it a fungus because it looks fuzzy).
An all-natural liquid medication for fish infected with fungus and bacterial infections. It will not discolor aquarium water or aquarium sealant.
An antibiotic commonly used for treating bacterial and fungus infections. I personally stay clear of it because of the serious discoloration it gives the water.
Up to 40 eggs have been observed in a single spawn and the eggs are best left with their parents to prevent fungusing. They hatch in 48-72 hours from spawning and the fry are free-swimming in a day or so.
It activates the immune system by stimulating receptors on macrophages that cause them to react as if a fungus is attacking the body.
A fungus is a colorless (i.e., lacking chlorophyll) plant with practically no differentiation of cell structure. Yeast are small single-celled forms that reproduce by budding or spore formation.
As the aquarium matures, fungus on wood won't normally trouble you, in fact the fish will eat it or it will simply disappear given time.
Some of the causes of this condition are: Not making partial water changes often enough resulting in a build-up of dissolved waste products, infection by a parasitic fungus called Ichthyosporidium.
Perhaps the most common angel fish disease is mouth fungus and bacteria. You can tell if your angel fish has mouth fungus because it's mouth will become streaked with red lines.

I think that mollies, platys and swordtails have very low defenses against mainly fungus and fungul parasetic diseases and proper precautions should be taken to prevent these diseases. This site gives valuable info.
Visible Symptoms: Off-white spots or marks around the fins, body and mouth of the fish, white cotton like fungus like puffs around the mouth region, red ulcers on the fishes body, frayed fins, "shimmy" instead of swim constantly, thin appearance, ...

Gold Wags are susceptible to Fin Rot and Mouth Fungus. Breeding Gold Wag Swordtails are not difficult to breed. Gold Wag Swordtails are livebearers, and when breeding, they will produce up to 80 fry. Females should be separated before giving birth.
Eggs are prone to fungus. Suggest keeping the eggs in a floating net in the tank containing the parent fish. Alternatively, Methylene Blue can be used. Fry are fed with microworms after the yolk sac has been used up (3-4 days).
It is recommended for fin and tail rot, open red sores, open body wounds, eye cloud, pop eye, body slime and mouth fungus. Carbon filters should be removed during treatment and water changes should be done after the treatment.
The eggs are very susceptible to fungus and best removed, treated and the fry allow to hatch in a very controlled environment. The young can be raised on newly hatched brineshrimp again vigilance in respect of water quality is paramount.
I should mention that I also keep water slaters (the European fresh water louse) in my daphnia cultures because they break down solid waste and prevent the pellets from being covered in fungus and floating at the surface.
The Congo Tetra is an egg layer and because of this, you must make sure if breeding the fish, to separate the adults from the eggs or they may be eaten. Another consideration is that the eggs of this fish are extremely vulnerable to fungus, ...
Regular partial water changes maintaining water quality stability are essential. Fluctuations in water parameters or quality often lead to skin parasites, bacteria, and fungus. The temperature should remain at or above 80F.
Turn off the tank lights and possibly even cover the tank to eliminate light on the eggs. This will lower the chance of fungus on the eggs. The fry will hatch after 24 hours and are free-swimming within five days.
Generally, they will lay in the evening and oviposition the spawn on a perlon mat. In order to prevent fungus from growing, the tank should be covered.
food you feed your fish is very important for their overall health and the health of your aquarium. Overfeeding can result in uneaten food that will decompose, causing an increase in nitrogen products such as ammonia, or harmful bacteria or fungus.
Whatever the setup, the tank should be well filtered and rich in oxygen, and the fish should be kept in groups of 4-6 animals. Do not try to keep the fish in hard alkaline water, since then the fish usually contract fungus, or a bacterial infection.
It can also cultivate the growth of fungus in your tank, which scaleless fish like puffers are especially susceptible to. Only feed quantities your puffers will eat.
