I have a Geophagus Red Tabajos that appears to have little brownish wart looking things forming near his body where his side fin and body meet. I noticed this last night and it doesn't look good. Any ideas what this might be and how to treat it?
 
Do you have any pics?

My earth eaters had something similar. I treated with malachite green, and then after that I used salt. They eventually turned into ulcers on the one and it died, but they went away on the other one leaving white spots.
