i think i know what it is when i look closely at the fish i can see that the moth has been damaged and it looks like fungus is on the mouth. i think it has been caused by fighting because i oflten see it circling the dominent maingano and they lock jaws and fight

A few of my dominant yellow labs have the same thing from fighting. As for the fungus could it just be flesh?

Sounds like he's just been fighting.
My crabros use to go @ eachother all the time, their lips were white from locking jaws, lol

Also my dolphins seem to be agressive, one has blood on its lip :\

But if there is fluffy fungus keep an eye on it, because open wounds infect easier
