i have group of baby p bass that are all about an inch. on of them is geting what looks like white fuz on him. there is a little on his fin and some oe his head and side. anyone have an idea what it is? i usually use salt in my tanks to get rid of stuff. should i buy something or just keep using the salt?
 
salt and heat are the best remedy, sounds like a fungus to me
 
Increase the temp, salt, provide lots of aeration since high heat depletes oxygen. Give it some time, hope it recovers. Feed life guppies for now...to fatten him up
 
Sounds like your fish got scraped up a bit allowing body fungus to get a start, warm water and clean conditions with 1 teaspoon salt per gallon of water usually clears it up and products that promote good slimecoats like a mix of pimafix and melafix are supposed to help but if it gets worse go ahead and use an antifungal like Forma-green or Jungle fungus clear.
