salt. didnt want to mis treat it. so i don't know what to do, never had any with health issues with any of my fish ever. first time the tank is stable. kinda on the wall with this one. its getting worse as we speak
 
Primary fungal infections are rare. This is more likely a bacterial infection (probably Flavobacterium), which commonly cause white tufts around the mouth/face. Begin treatment with an antibacterial. Inspect the fish thoroughly looking for any evidence of lesions elsewhere along the body and fins.
 
Add meds for bactera. I think the fish is a gonna die, its spead past his jaw. Can see his teeth. Sucks I think he was gonna breed with my other wolf.
