Hi i have a 3" texas cichlid that had a rep bump under his gill like i made a post about a couple weeks ago.. well the LFS gave me sone medicine for it and i've put him on it for about 3 weeks.. I took him out for daily checks and i've forgot to for the past week and i took him out right now and there are 5 pimples on his body! One under hid bellie, 1 on his back finm the one on his gil, one on his back and one on his other side!! WHAT IS IT!?!?!
 
Sounds like some type of Internal Parasites(?).. I would start with a salt bath, and then full doses of any Metrodazinole based meds you can find, but stay away from copper.
 
pics?
 
Sounds like anchor worms to me. Just a guess...hard to tell without seeing it first.

Sometimes you can actually see the worm coming out of the bump. If you can see it, remove it with tweezers. I heard a product called Dimilin works as well.
 
That sucks, Good luck :)
