What is the best? right now I currently use melafix/pimafix but not really working I just ordered a bunch of triple sulfa. The fish are not too bad yet but something is going on. I have been doing water changes every 3 days or so because of nitrates fluctuating up and down
 
Melafix work best for wounds, not bacterial infections. Pimafix works as a preventive med rather than for cures. What are your water parameters? Are you sure the fins are rotting?

What tablets did you use, CF?
 
No ammonia to .25 whatever the first # on the chart is No nitrites and nitrates hanging between 10-20. There is some blood streaking in the fins of a couple fish and they are frayed up a bit. Everyone still eating like crazy though.
