This is a green Severum, it has some white stuff on the body. I have tried treating for fungus with no results. It looks like white spikes sticking out from the body.

Can someone tell me what it is and how to treat it?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Try metro you could use NLS hex shield or metroplex or both.

That is exactly what i am dealing with right now, its on one of my paratilapia and one rainbowfish just like that. The other rainbow has it really bad on its face. I am currently treating with triple sulfa and 1/2 dose of malachite green, no improvement so far but its still early.

Great, thanks. Do you know where I can get them quick, like within a day or two.

Try any good LFS. You look at Petco, petsmart will not have it.
