the small red dots you are talking about looks to me as if its ammonia burn. once again make sure that water is super clean ! when introducing a new fish its always best to have the cleanest water possible so they get settled in faster .
no sorry you must be mistaken in ammonia burn the whole body of the fish starts to turn grey.the third picture i tagged eric was the little baby flowerhorn what i was concerned about is this. wtf is this now (View attachment 1005182View attachment 1005183DSC_0173.JPGim talking about the grown flowerhorn)

so eric have noticed many other t on the flowerhorns body i hope they are not ulcers. the flowerhorn is greedy as ever and chases everyone during feeding time. i took him out and examined him look he has them all over his body. i took two pictures one is one side and other one is of the other.DSC_0185.JPGDSC_0186.JPG

it looks like bacterial infection do you have tetracycline around your area? if not then you can give him a salt bath instead since you have a 180 gallons tank so I doubt you want to dose the whole tank.

add 1 tablespoon of aquarium salt which is around 15ml to 5gallon of new water dechlorinated for 5 mins if he show sign of stress then remove him.
So what your suggesting that. I should put 1 table spoon in my 6 foot tank right? The water in the aquarium is already containing methylene blue , green liquid and anti fungus. So should I add squarium salt in it?

Dear 1 table spoon/5 gallon ........so if you have 180 gallon US/150 gallon Uk (I think that MFK calculator is in US gallon??? ) then add 36 table spoon ...simple is that.....and you should better get an extra medication tank.....and it is better that you should change the water first........

Note: changing water 100% regularly or often removes beneficial bacteria from tank!!!
