In your other thread, I posted this:

Looks like your fish has some bacterial problems. Fungus is usually a secondary infection. Most bacterial problems are due to poor water quality usually due to a lack of water changes or overfeeding.

I assumed you would have treated the fish for a bacterial problem. If you don't use any of the medications suggested above, at least try using mexafix for 7 days.

can i get these at my LFS?

Yes, ask a employee if they got Melafix

ID sharks are crazy by nature and run into things, so they end up injuring themselves. I observe mine often so even the slightest change I add some fish healing conditioner and it helps. Once my ID's fin was messed up, most likely from a leoporinus nip, I put this stuff in and within a couple of days it healed up. You should treat it ASAP before it gets any worse.

Your earlier picts from other thread didn't look like fungus then . But that looks like mouth fungus now. Kick up the temp to around 82-84 and treat as suggested with Melafix which should be safe for him.

If it were me I would just use 1 tbs of salt per 10 gallons and do DAILY 50-75% water changes untill it heals - redosing salt depending on the amount of water I change. But looking at your post it seems you may have already tried that method. You could go with the Melafix idea but I have no experience with it, so can't give you any advice on that treatment. Weird that your ID sharks got sick as they are really hardy IMO.

Good luck with that... Looks nasty!
