Just noticed them a few days ago....I thought it was a bite-mark that just got irritated like it had a tooth or something stuck in it. Green Texas started out w/ it on one side and the other side had BUMPS, but no red or pink, then a day or so later, it's on both sides.

Now I just saw it on my larger Jaguar in a similar spot. Anyone seen this before?? Is it bacterial, fungal, parasitic? I did a WC 2 nights ago and added an extra 2TBSP of salt to the 6 for the 30 gallons I swapped out so 8 in total. Not only does it not look better, it looks WORSE everyday that passes.

Wish I could help Frank. I know little about fish illnesses. Been lucky in my years of only having to deal with ick. You did tag a couple people that normally pop in on these threads. Best of luck.
 
Like Red-man, I too have only delt with ich and never encounter anything you've mentioned. Wish I could help bro. Look like youve don't the what you could...Hope someone comes up with a better remedy.

We would usually treat something like that with nitrofurazone and salt to start.
 
Please post water parameters, include temp, pH and hardness if available. Is a hospital tank available and do you ave the ability to do a bath treatment? Could you post a list of tank occupants?
 
Sorry frank, I'm not the best with diseases and illness. Worst I've dealt with was a bacterial infection from feeding minnows. All I did was lots of water changes and added melafix. Hope someone else that has a better knowledge can chime in and help you out. Gl
