post pics ASAP! It might be (hopefully) ich. It is a very common disease, and very easily treated. Does it look like tiny grains of salt?

It is ich, i think.

Just type in ich treatments on google and you will come up with a whole bunch of stuff.

I use Metafix, which is an antibiotic, water changes, salt, and an increase in temperature. These will get rid of ich in days.

the best treatment I ever did, and the only one I use now, is to bump the temperature up to 86F for a week or two and add 1 tsp aquarium salt per 5 gallons (dissolve it first in warm water before adding). Do it quickly, and you will have absolutely no fish loss or any visible marks. Good luck man.

that sucks... aros are generally tough fish and i've personally never encountered one with ich...

i agree with above. kick the temp up a few degrees and add aquarium salt. best remedy.
