In my 20 gallon I have 3 flagfish (1 male 2 female) and a sailfin molly. The last male I had got covered in a white fungus and I put him down because he lost his eye and half of his face. Well I just got up this morning to find that my current has a somewhat less severe case of this white, hair-like fungus on his head and chest. The weird thing about this is the females never got the fungus, never get sick, and even survived my hornwort shedding all of it's leaves in the 2.5 gallon. The molly is perfectly fine also.
What do you recommend I do? I don't want to lose another flagfish.
Last water change was 6 days ago

maybe salt will help? 1 teasp per gal. Also read up on Flexibacter (Columnaris) and see if it might be that. Its often confused with fungus.
