I've got a severum with a white film across most of his body, cloudy eyes, etc. All of the other fish in the tank show mild fin rot as well. I salted the tank for about a week last week, and nothing got better. This week i started using Pimafix and made no difference, actually the severum looks worse, swimming erratically, etc.

Ammonia - 0
Nitriate - 0
Nitrate - 0
Ph 7.0

i'm about to do a water change per the instructions on pimafix.

Everything was fine in the tank, and this is a very sudden thing.

here's a pic of the severum

First, your tank is not cycled. Second i would take the severn out and put it in a hos tank with a high temp and some meds. I would check the nitrate and ammonia level again..
 
You could try a formalin-malachite green mix medication, if it is a true fungus it will clear it up.

The tank has been running for about 8 months...
