My tig cat has this clear bubble like stuff on it. Ive been treating with salt and pimafex but i dont think its working. I asked some people and some local fish stores they dont know it either. What is it and how can i treat it?

idk but if i cant find a answer or solution as hard it is i will have to put it down because i dont want it to suffer more then it is. i really don't want to take it to this step but i also cant let this poor thing suffer.

Sounds like Gas Bubble Disease. I found this discription.

Gas Bubble Disease is caused by a sudden change in gas pressure in the aquarium. This can happen by changing too much water at one time or by adding cold water to the fish tank. Gas bubbles form in the fins and skin of the fish. The bubbles look like blisters and are very easy to see. The skin will crackle if you run your finger across it. If not treated in time, gas bubbles in the bloodstream will kill the fish. The treatment is to add alot of aeration to the aquarium. Lights should be left off to minimize stress. If you see alot of bubbles that have already popped, consider adding a broad spectrum antibiotic to guard against secondary infection.
