I treatd him with API meds by mixing these two. It didn't look like it was doing anything so I gave up. I took it out of the hospital tank and back in the main tank. Can someone tell me what the heck is this disease?

I can't see what is wrong with the birchir. Look from the pictures there is nothing wrong with it. or can you point out the problem pls :). When using medication you need to know scaleless fish and scale fish. For these scaleless fish medication dose need to be less or read the label carefully some said do not use on scaleless fish.
 
are you sure its just not him getting a burn from your heater? did you take readings for ammonia in your tank? if you have any present it could be burns from that too.
