My Tiger Barbs has green stuff on the sides. I first noticed it yesterday with little quantities and I just thot that maybe my Barbs were Green Tiger Barbs(real things). But today, the amount of green stuff has totally expanded!
 
Some daily water changes should clear it up, if you have no scaless fish maybe add some aquarium salt to the tank.

how on earth can you advise medicating without knowing what it is? :dunno:

when you say green and it has expanded, that dosn't really tell us much.
is it fuzzy, smooth etc?
IME tiger barbs often have green pigment patches develope, this is where the green tiger barb colour variation comes from.
if you look at the "black" stripes on a TB you will see they are actually a dark geen.
 
To be fair adding salt isn't really medicating.

A picture is worth a thousand words, try and get a photograph so people have a better idea of what you are explaining.
 
That's quite normal, the green stuff is usually found in the black stipes of the tiger's sides. One of my tigers have such thing. No treatment neccesary...
