ok... so we have to keep doing water changed 2 times every day.
if you can, take a picture and keep it.
If the white areas get bigger you have to tell us as soon as you notice them!!! you can check the picture if you are not sure.
a little white is normal in a tank change.. but if you get lots of it or it grows we have a big problem.
That is why I do not think you should add anything to the tank right now. I know you want to, but it may make the fish sick.

white in the edge of the fin is normal in a tank change... if it grows.. then that is a big problem.
when a fish starts to get sick or feels stress sometimes the edges of the fins start to turn white. That is why I asked.
You can also keep the tank darker or in a shaded spot so it will not feel uncomfortable.

Do you know the temperature of the tank?
You are getting sleepy... you only hear the sound of my voice... you must do water changes... water changes... water changes... water changes...

a tad high but do't worry about it right now... try to keep it in the 75 - 78 range, but it is a small tank.
I hope that bubbler is working
