Well last weekend i looked at my blood parrot and she started to form this fungus on her face. At first I thought it was HITH but by looking at some pictures online it wasnt. here is a picture below and tell me what you guys think and how to treat it. I removed her and added some salt in my other tank but still need to get some other stuff just to keep it from growing even more. thank you

It could be Columnaris (Cotton Mouth disease). You could try treating with Maracyn 2. It's tough to be 100% but that's what it looks like to me.
 
LFS, Petsmart.
 
Good luck, keep us posted on her progress.
 
well so far it is getting worst! I followed the directions and the fungus in her face is getting bigger but some of it is falling out at the same time. What else should I do beside the daily dosage?
 
Yesturday her mouth started to bleed because she bumpped into the heater. is that ok? and now alot of fungus is growing. need more help!
