It's datnoid disease... I've had it pop up on Indo, ST, and NTT. Got rid of it with clean water, melafix, and salt. Someone mentioned before it being viral which I do believe. Once conditions are right or fish is stressed it shows itself. You'll never get rid of it.. Only the symptoms. Almost like a cold sore for fish but that can take it over and kill it.

Yeah it looks better now compared to before. You treat with melafix for a week Yet? I'd continue with the salt and water changes. It usually takes 2-3weeks for its symptoms to heal up. Good thing is he's eating and is healing.

Yep datnoid disease.. one of Mine had it bad.. clean water and salt ... I spot treated one with hydrogen peroxide.. not sure if that made a difference
 
That's good to hear, if you don't mind sharing, how did you treat it?
Furan 2 salt and water change every two day 30 % after two treatments of furan I keep the salt and temp up for another two week temp was at 90 feed less while treatment
