White stuff growing on fins and body! Please help!

[Wesley M]

My female jack Dempsey got really messed up by my male it she developed tail rot. I treated it and it went away but then she developed what I thought was ich so I used Nox-Ich. Nothing changed but the spits started getting bigger and not as many. The white stuff covered the edge of her tail and some of the edge of her dorsal fin, and there are blotches of white cottony stuff (i think it looks cottony but not 100 percent sure) all over her body. I've been treating her with Maracyn 2 for five days and the stuff seems to be falling off. She is in a bare 10 gallon quarentine tank. No carbon in the filter, just sponge. There is this weird white stringy stuff coating the inside if the tank. Please diagnose if you can and tell me if I'm treating properly.

I do not think that whatever is on the glass has any bearing on what affects the fish.

I agree with Miguel.

However I would clean the glass and then (after cleanning the glass) do a large 75% water change and vacume the crap off the bottom. Then I would suggest trying API Triple Sulfa.

Can't really tell with the cloudiness of the glass or water but I recommend doing 40% water changes everyday for a week, adding a TBSP per 10 gallons of aquarium salt and raising your temp up 2 degrees each day until you are around 84 degrees. And you will see results. It most likely is ammonia burn from high ammonia. You need your ammonia levels at 0. Have you tested your ammonia?
