Need serious help please
After elvis had slight finrot, as advised on here I did water changes, cleaned the stones etc, water is perfect 0 ammonia, 0 nitrite, ph 6:8 (got it stable by adding the ocean rocks, it's always been around that and they've been fine) nitrate is 10ppm, the tank is fully established, I'm using the API master kit to test daily, now elvis is hiding away at the top of the tank, comes out for feeding and a swim every now and again, I'm on the fourth day of using myxazin as advised on here, also carrying out water changes every couple of days, but now Ive noticed cotton wool like growths on some of my fish, including elvis, elvis is also losing colour, he's a blue Oranda, some fish are near the surface not gasping just hanging around, but only for a minute or so, the tank has a powerful air pump with plenty of bubbles, also noticed some blood steaks only small ones in a couple of fish, I'm worried in case its flukes, or worms etc, this has come about because of an outbreak of white spot a few weeks ago, I'm now struggling to get their health back, I also tried salt a while ago, but with all the water changes I'm sure there's no salt in there now, please help me save my water babies [emoji256]
Below first pics are elvis, then sir Alan sugar, Flash Gordon, and bubbles (he's always had the spots on his head)
