I'm not an expert, want to know what that is but if you want other's help. I think they need to know your set up, water parameter, water change and tankmates.

Good luck
 
i honestly dont know its not my tank it my brothers i think theres
4 rams
1 pleco
7 discus
wc every week
and they are in a 100g i know its over stocked but he doesnt listen to me.im just tying to help him out
 
If i was you, i'll put it in 10G hopital tank so it won't spread out to other fish and wait for doctor to respond. From picture and my little experience, it looks like fungus 'cause dont see blood. While waiting for doctor, I would keep him in 10G tank and raise temp to 84-88
 
I had that happen to a fish before, didn't survive. Some sort of fungal injection, I think. I would seperate the fish and treat in a hospital tanks
