Yes it does spread - and takes hold quite quickly. I think Omoxycin gets rid, but i cant really remember the name of the medicine. But that one rings a bell!

I don't know that it spreads just because I have had that happen to my mollie tank but it only happened to one of the fish. The rest are fine. I didn't treat with anything but maybe my other fish had better imune systems. Good luck!
