In the last 6 months I have had 3 of my fish get red sores on them. The first two were more like gouges. The first, my Blue Paradise, had the gouge on its side past the dorsal fin. It seemed to recover in about three weeks, but died shortly after. The second, my buenos aires tetra, had the gouge right next to the dorsal fin on the lateral line. I put it in a hospital tank for about two months and it had just about recoverd and I decided to put it back in which was four days ago. It died two days later. Yesterday I noticed my fruity tetra has a red sore right behind its anal fin. The sore isn't really deep. I don't know what is going on. It must be some sort of bacteria or parasite. What should I do? Should I bid farewell to my fruity tetra? I don't really want to put it in the hospital tank. It seems to be swimming fine. Will my other fish get sick? Why aren't they all sick?
Here is a link to some pictures of my buenos aires tetra I took. Sorry I didn't compress them. http://anthony.project04.net/fish.htm
