I'm not sure about the ailments, but can I ask why it's pink?
Look up the term 'mallsai'

Is that a tray of water that it's in?

Also, it's not a bonsai.

Yes it is
I didn't say if it is a bonsai or not and I'm not asking you about it!

I used candle to cover cuts and that's why it is pink
Somebody gave this to my brother for present two years ago and he gave it to me and recently I've become interested in it.
I would love to have real bonsai but I'm still searching for the right one and knowing the basics to not become a "Mallsai" like you said

Yes it is


If that's a an answer to the question whether it's in a tray of water:
Seems that's the cause. The plant is overwatered. Roots may be rotting already.

This is a forum, so you'll get answers regardless.

I put this tray today so I don't think thats's the problem, but recentley I'm spraying it regularly to maintian the moisture
I'm not an bonsai expert but I've seen this kind of ficus in this website so I'm not sure your answer is quite right

You don't have to be a bonsai expert if you don't have a bonsai. Bonsai is NOT a tree species.
Ficus is suitable for bonsai if properly trained to be a bonsai. The way your plant is grown with the ugly, disproportionate roots and grafted top makes it practically useless for bonsai.

Your houseplant is pretty sick. The algae and fungus indicate overwatering, the leaves indicate bugs.
