humm.. chekc the ph, salanity and hardness of your water. the damamge look too minor to identify from the picture view. but if i have to pick it will look more like a fin rot. more like scale rot or maybe it is just the fish slimmer coat shedding.
It look like a mild case of scale rot (fungus). Any antifungal medication will do the trick. I use Pimafix with great results. Hope he gets better. Cheers
also try water changes every 3 days instead of weekly 20% water - add two handfuls of seasalt after every change - its natural and non chemical way to cure aro scale and gill curl.
also depends on how severe the gill curl is. mine took about 2 months to grow gill covers after i brought it home from the store.

what change is key to any form of fish scale problem....
I would start doing water change more frequently...

Thank you all for your help and thanks for the comment on the fish there bigdaddycool i been feeding my rays more.. does anyone have this situation when you change water your aro's scales will have a bubbles fizzing out of the scales? each time i change water i have this situation.. i do water change every once a week or every 5days or so.. i usually do about 40-50% water change each time..i guess i have too many fish in there so water are dirty very quickly..
It seems like bubbles but its probably slime coat. Bubbles tend to get caught in it when they shed slime coat and it seems as if bubbles are coming off the scales. And to Mr. Nooby, why on earth would you check pH, salinity, and hardness of all things when its fungus? That makes no sense to me.
