Hi, I have 5 Tin Foil Barb keeping together with a HB gold. 1 of the TFB body and the tail part is like the skin peeing off. I dont know how to describe it but its something like us human when we went for sun tanning then after that the skin peeling off. It has been abt a week and I have added anti-biotics together with external bacteria medicine but it dont seem to improve. It is stil eating and swimming lively and the rest of the fishes r not affected. Any bro know what is this disease. It seem like velvet to me. How to cure it? thanks.

Sounds like the slime coat is peeling off. Its like white stuff coming off the body right? Check your pH first bro, pH spikes can lead to the shedding of slime coat.
