hi my fish have white spot (i think) , but is it normal for the fish to look like they have a fury layer on them also my angel fish has glazed eyes(a bit like what snake eyes look like when they are about to shed there skin) , we have been treating the tank with myxazin |

it sounds like velver rather than whitespot and the glazed eyes bit sounds like flukes |

lisa sounds like theres a lot you need to learn. i would bet 100% that your real issue is water changes.
did you know you should be changing 30% of the water in your tank once a week or at least every fortnight?
this will cure all the problems or at least prevent them from happening. have a read on the 'tank cycle' on google and within an hour of reading you'll be an expert on the matter and then be able to understand why its so important to make regular water changes
