So I had 2 problems going on. 1 large male Syn was just sick--head shaking, wouldn't eat, fins clamped, flashing alot. So I treated the tank with PraziPro last week, one time, and it helped him alot. Now I just have this problem with white dots on tips of dorsal fins. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?601540-White-Dot-on-Fin-Tips

Lots of my fish flash, about half of them either have or have had this white dot on the fin tips. I've noticed it looks like a tiny white cotton ball, not a wart. So, my LFS said it's probably a fungus, try PimaFix. I added it yesterday, and today, plan to do the whole 7 day treatment.

How long should it take for the white dots to go away on fins? What do I try when PimaFix doesn't work? I tried it because it was recommended, it doesn't bother the bacteria in my biomedia. But, reading on here, it has very mixed reviews. So, I figure I need to start thinking now about what I'm gonna do if it doesn't help in the next day or two?

540 gallon tank, ammonia/nitrite at 0, nitrate at pretty close to 0 with a 40 gallon per day drip.
