Good morning guys, need some help to ID the disease my aro has. not sure if its bacterial or fungus ? here are some pics. i have been treating him with paraguard for 3 days but im out of it and in my country they dont sell the product, i already ordered overseas but will take some time to arrive. any advice? i think i can get api melafix , pimafix or furan -2 but need first to id the disease.

also i have a quick video but .mov or .mp4 and it does not allow me to upload it. what format i need to use ?

Looks like a bacterial infection.
How often do you do water changes?
What are your water parameters?

twice a week, i have 1 fluval fx6, 1 dolphin c- 1600 canister and used to have a sump of 48G but it has a leak and i took it down. its a 180G tank. 1 albino arowana, 2 motoro stingrays and 3 bichirs. its clearly a water quality problem. i am doing more often water changes now. did a 60% water change the first day, 3 days of paraguard and today i did another 60% wc

it looks like a water born bacteria or fungus lodging itself beneath the scales to me. this might stress the fish but i would take out your filters, disassemble and thoroughly clean the parts. also depending on how your filling your tank maybe check/change your water supply because it could be a source issue.
