I have got a loach that has white lumps on it what will happen?
The white lumps are what is commonly known as ick. Loaches are prone to it as are most other scaleless fish. If your tank and the other fish are healthy they should not be affected by it, if not, your whole tank could be wiped out by this disease. I recommend buying something like nox-ick, just be carefull, you want to do a half dose for scaleless fish. Ick is probably the most common fish disease and the easiest to cure, but it can have devistateing effects on tank if it isn't treated at an early stage.

Do Betta fish has white thing in its fine?
Your fish could have something called "ick". It is a disease and can be easily treated with over the counter medications. This only from what you are describing; ick forms on the fins as a milky white ribbon, so to say. It could just be the fish's natural color, but I haven't ever really seen white on betta fish. If it is ick and you do not treat it, your fish will could die.
