Hello, well we've encountered oour first problem. We bought 5 Red-eye tetras for the first stocking, these are fine. Last Sunday we added 3 Odessa barbs and 2x pakistani loaches to the tank. Now the barbs (all 3 of them) look like they have some sort of infection. The end of their fins have gone white, almost like a fungal infection, and the best way to describe their appearance is they look like they're in carbonated water.. with air bubbles on them. They're not air bubbles but that's what it lookslike. The tetras and loaches are fine.

Help... please!
