Most of my fish are now dead!!!HELP!!!!

Does that happen to say what the active ingredients are on the bottle? I"m from the US, and I haven't had any luck finding the active indgedients before when I searched with google.

Also, it almost looks like the fish have ich. Are their bodies just pale, or are they actually covered in slime?

Well the 2 feather tail cat fish were heavily coated and i could see the slime peeling away from them, we did try and save one by peeling the film from round its gills but we were too late. the other fish are no where near as bad although the surving clown loach has strated to peel the film from its back fin. The rest have like a fine layer as seen on the platies above.
The treatment does have active ingredients but does`nt state what thet are.
here is some off the jargon on the box..... ANTI SLIME & VELVET will eradicte velvet ( Oodinium and Amyloodimium sp), Flukes (Dactylogyrus and Gyrodactylus sp.) And Protozoan parasities (chilodonella, ichthyobodo (costa), trichodina, brooklynella sp)

Well the clown loach pictured in my other post died over night along with another tetra... so far ive lost 2 clown loaches, 2 FT Catfish, about 5 tetras, 1 guppy and 2 others i cant remember the name of. So to me the treatment hasn`t been effective!
i have 1 red tailed black shark (looking bad), 2 rams, 3 femaile fighters, 2 BN catfish, 3 platies, 4 tetras and 5 mcm minnows left. Now if theses die which i hope they dont... what course of action should i take before i even think of adding any fish to the tank?

Why are you even thinking about adding fish at the moment if the treatment isn't working? I would leave it at LEAST a month between seeing the last signs of any illness and adding any new fish, just to be on the safe side.

Maybe it would be beneficial to isolate some of the fish, after all, if some aren't too badly affected being in a tank with other sick fish won't help much.

Im not thinking of adding any new fish, was just wondering what course of action should be taken. for example; binning all filter mater, gravel, plants and stones and sterilising the tank! But that is if all the fish do die which i pray they don`t. was really upset to see my 2 clown loaches and 2 FT cat fish go... they were a good health size.
