Please Help With Fish Disease On My Tetra And Shark

[angieb]

Hello,

My Tetra has sores that started on his face and now it has moved to his body. His eye is starting to look like its swelling up and now one of my sharks is starting to get this whatever it is... I treated the tank with Melafix antibacterial remedy once i noticed the sore, but it has gotten worse.
It also looks as if he is also having trouble breathing.. I have picts but I don't know how to reduce the file to attach.

Please help.

use photobucket,its really easy to do.. www.photobucket.com

upload your photo from your computer to the album on there,then copy the img code and insert after pressing the insert image box (directly on top of the box u type in on here-looks like a photo)
its easy i promise, bit more diff to explain,
as they say a picture speaks a 1000 words

good luck shelagh xxx

though it is a bit naughty, you could put a thread in the members photo section, use the attachment option, then link the pictures to this thread. only to get some pictures to members so they can help, then it gives you time to open and transfer your pictures to a photo host, and still get help quick!

Sores are bacterial any white edges to the sores.
Water stats would be good.
Melafix is no good on internal bacteria infection, all it good for is cut and wounds to help them heal, and keep infection at bay.
You will need an internal bacteria med.
