since my last post on here ive added another stage of interpet no 9 anti internal bacteria which is 2 doses over 4 days.everything in the tank is fine now except for 1 of my red eyed tetras which has since died,it had really bad mouth fungus and have just noticed out of the 2 remaining 1 has really really bad mouth fungus,it still eats but i cant see its mouth at all,its just like it hasnt got 1 ive since been informed off my local store that he has had a bad batch of red eyed tets which 3 of mine came out of.hes been treating them for approx 3 weeks and can only just see signs of improvement.Can this disease be easily spread espec from fish 2 fish and if untreated could it wipe out my whole tank?

Sadly it sounds like the mouth is rotting away with it, which you need a very good antibiotic which is only available from a vet, as a salt bath won't stop the bacteria from eating away at the mouth.

Yes it can spread, and yes it can wipe a full tank out even in hours.
