Hmm, what "general tonic" did you use? Is it eating? Maybe it's old age? Try some other medicine like Para Gaurd, which treats internal and eaternal parasites as well as bacterial and fungal infection.

it was tetra general tonic which deals with--- ragged fins blood stained fins wounds and abrasions inflammations raised scales and protruding eyes..... but it was too late didn't last much longer sunk to bottom of tank so we flushed it :( at least my other fish are looking ok will keep a close eye on them for the next week or two
