The only thing that I can think of that your bala might have is fin and tail rot. I am not sure about tonite as a medication though. Have you added aquarium salt to the tank yet?

I am not sure about tonite as a medication though.

Personally, I find "tomorrow" is more effective.

Sorry, couldn't help myself......

On a more serious note, there are medications called "Today" and "Tomorrow", over here in the United States. They're for dairy cows

Are your fish's fins a blood-red color, or just reddish-pink? If they're not blood-red, they could be irritated by high chemical levels in the water, I think. Are your water parameters okay? Someone suggested to me that blood-red gills are a sign of parasites.

Good luck!
