My Texas hybrid has some red spots on its top lip & around its nostrils.

The fish was with a flowerhorn that came down with some red patches, treated the tank with E.M. Erythromycin & lost her a couple days later.
I moved the tank the next day, kept a bucket of water for the fish when I moved the fish & drained the rest out to move the tank. Filled the tank with clean water, put the fish back in the tank with water from the bucket. Noticed the spots 2 days ago, fish has been hiding & not eating. Turned the temp up to 82 & added salt. No change in spots or behavior of the fish.
Any idea on the problem & how to treat it?
 
not the greatest pic(cell phone) trying to find my digital

also water test results were good
 
treating the tank with tetracycline(day 2) will see how he is after another 2 days of treatment & a WC
