Without more info, it looks like the scale damage was caused by another fish. Maybe a pleco or another larger cichlid.

Sorry.. Did you read the old post?

but it wasn't scale damage. at first I though it was.. She kept getting worse of a period of weeks even when the pleco was gone..

What more info do you need?

She was alone when the issue was minimal and it progressed...
Her red tear drops faded away.. She ate..

Driftwood was cured prior adding it to the tank..
no rocks.
A few swords and Kripts plants..
Pool filter sand.
