How long have you been treating for ich? Keep the salt treatment for now. What are the water parameters? From the looks of the wounds, this is bacterial infection. What decorations do you have? How often and how much water volume is changed?

Ammonia 0, nitrate 0 nitrite 10 ( i think that is the right way around lol) was no decore in there, he was in the hospital tank with my oscar....he had healed from ich, then looked like loss of slime coat, and then turned into this where it looked like loss of slime coat...so from that and what you have said, sounds like a bacterial infection??
Thanks

You're confusing the nitrite and nitrate. Nitrate is the final byproduct of the nitrogen cycle, not the nitrite. Did you dissolve the salt at all? I missed this one.
