is fungus contagious?


I have four male convicts. Four days ago, I noticed that one of them had white cottony stuff over his right and left eye, caudal area, pectoral fin, and tail, which I determined was a fungus. I realize that males can be aggressive with each other and cause minor wounds, so I was concerned there might be a wound in addition to the fungus. I didn’t know if the fungus was contagious, so I treated the entire tank with Marcyn and Maroxy. The one guy is showing significant improvement. No sign of the problem in the others. I have a hospital tank set up, but I was concerned that the other three might acquire the fungus and possibly infection, so medicated the entire tank. Should I have put the convict with the obvious fungus in the hospital tank?
