This started out as one scale protruding out like maybe a wound, and a couple days later it looks like this. We have him in a hospital tank right now doing Fungus and Parasite treatment with Maracide and Maroxy. In just 2.5 days there is white stringy lookin stuff all over the inlet of the filterand I notice when he moves fast small peices of it fall off. From the best I can tell he hasn't eaten in the last couple of days either. He is swimming ok, not floating or tilting. He still comes to the glass when I am around like he did in my main tank.

Bump! Its even worse today almost 2x the size over night. I started adding melafix to the tank in case its a bacteria.
 
it really doesnt look too bad from the picture. it must be badly infected if it is affecting him like that. Im sorry I dont know how to help but good luck with him
