Why is white fuzz on my fish spreading despite ongoing treatment?

Question

My fish have white fuzz all over their bodies. I have been treating them since Monday and it keeps spreading am I treating them the wrong way? Is there more I should be doing. Pet's info: Fish | Freshwater Fish

Maintain pristine water quality. This is the foundation of treatment. It will require partial water changes every few days and a complete cleaning of the substrate (if any) and any tank furniture. I see you have frogs, which can make treatment trickier. In tanks without amphibians or scaleless fish, plain aquarium salt (NOT table or Epsom salt) can be used at 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of water for 14 days. You can remove the frog(s) and treat them separately if you want to use salt. The Pimafix, or Melafix also, can be used in conjunction with salt.
