I noticed my gold barbs had a white type of film on them a couple of day ago but wasn't sure if it was just me. So I asked a few of my friends if they could see anything and they said no. Today one of them were over and I asked if it looked worse. I believed it was and he said he could clearly see the white.

Does this sound like fungus to you? Also how much salt should I add to clear this up? And or other meds. Kinda iffy on them should I use?
 
Sorry water levels are ammo and nitrite 0 nitrate 15. Temp is at 80.
 
Here's a picture of the worst one..

Sounds and looks like fungus, i would get fungal treatment from petmart. Fungus is super common and should clear up pretty quick
 
Is it fuzzy? Fungus is normally fuzzy.... If it's slimy I think it could be excess slime coat.. Or another type of disease
 
That's what its like. I used erythromycin did a full treatment now just seeing how everything is coming along if I need to refuse I will
 
Could the fungus make them scratch (flash) at all?
