    Re: Is this fin rot?

    Could be. The whitish part looks like fungi. I'm not pretty sure but what i can suggest is that you use melanin to treat this. Google it to find out what is it and how to use it.

    Just keep the tank water in good condition and drop in some aquarium salt.(not the sea salt for marine fishes) The fin rot should recover anywhere between 2weeks to a month. Isolate the fish if needed to speed up recovery process. From your picture you posted, the tank water looks abit cloudy. Could be the reason.

    Thanks for the advice.
    I went out and got Medi to treat fin rot. Yellow liquid and add into tank now my tank is yellow yellow. This salt i bought too but never add together.
    I reckon I got correct salt as on package says for goldfish and swordfish.
    I show photo tonight. Hope my steps are correct.
    Can still feed them right all like so hungry.

    Feed them as per normal. They should still be hungry unless they have different problems

    This is the salt I bought. Do I put together with my medication?
    Just sprinkle in?

    Now going into 2nd treatment for the rot. Also continue with salt.
    Lost 1 more Neo tetra.
    Not much improvement.
