If you mean they have a body full of white, hairy stuff, you might add an anti-fungus medicin. However, no guarantees. It's very hard to tell without a picture.

Hi Marc,It's my pleasure to meet U.That's what I mean, I've tried with malachitegreen, oxtitetracicline, and furazolidon. But my treatment doesn't have a good result. I've 2 times like this, n the 1st time all of my stock was died about 1000.

I'm sorry to hear about your losses. Problems with malachitegreen, oxitetracycline and such is that these are also used in their countries of origin when fish are being stocked. A lot a fish await their transport and as a precaution the above medicins are added to their tanks or whatever they are in. Thus making these medicins useless to aquarists.
Moreover, fungus is normally a "secundary" disease. Fishes get sick, thus weaker and there comes the fungus to make it even worse. So find someone overthere who can discover the primary disease and treat them against that specific disease. Afaik the fungus will disappear on the moment your fishes are re-strenghtened. A picture of diseased fishes would help.
Good luck.
