Looks like saprolegnia or some other secondary infection, a formalin/malachite based med should clear it up, but the meds are hard on scaleless fish like cats and loaches.

Malachite Green is easy to obtain in pet stores.
 
Clout, forma-green and several other meds all contain the mix and are at most pet stores.
