Sounds like ich, there are some great articles on this site on how to treat. I am not sure how fry will hold up against them but you can always move them to a smaller aquarium as you treat.

Basically the heat and salt method is recommended over medication a lot of the time, basically you *** aquarium salt and increase temp. gradually! Hopefully someone can elaborate because i have never battled ich before! It may not even be ich! Definitely go read some articles and search the web though!

Sounds like you have quite a few fish in there

The best way to fix your fish is to fix their water... And that's going to be pretty tough in such a densely packed environment. Perhaps you could get another small tank if you're willing to spend some dough... It would definitely help with the water quality

Thanks guys, the fish came with the tank and to be honest I was going to try to see if a pet shop wanted some, I think it's the move that's unsettled them to, I shouldn't of bought the female pearl gourami ( wish I hadn't) has I'm trying to reduce the fish, I love my Cory's and rummy nose tetra, might find homes for the 6 red base tetras and the two sword fish as they are quite big ( females) and the pet shop said they'd have the fry and give me a credit note how soon can you re-home fry, and would 7 rummy nose tetras 2f & 2m guppies 2 loaches 2 Cory's and 2 gouramis be ok for 94 litre tank? As you can probably tell I'm completely new at this, I've had no deaths touch wood
