Hole in gill of Buffalo Head tmd2006 10-08-2008

The other day I noticed there was a small hole in one of the gills of my
buffalo head. Ive had him for a few months and his behaviour has not
changed
much. Ive taken a few pictures. He is in a 44g tank with some
bala sharks and
baby plecos.

The only thing that ive done recently was change over the substrate
from sand to
small gravel. Ive got a Marineland biowheel 200 for the
tank with an extra
insert with zeo carb.

Ive since quarantined him put in 3 tblspoons of salt and tetracycline.


As a side note about a month ago I lost 2 ID sharks with a similar type
of
thing. One had a white sore on the side of his body 2mm in diameter
which
turned into a ulcer and then he died. A couple weeks after that
the other got
an ulcer on his nose and eventually died.

Please help.
