If you test your water, please post the results. If you don't please get it tested for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate and post.

How often and how much water are you changing?

The red lump and marks maybe from fights.

everything looked good for my test,change 20% every 14 to 17 days.I found one of my problem is the skinny desease.Need to find the best med for that too

Skinny Disease? Why do you think you need meds? Is the skinny fish just weak, and the others are keeping it from food? Maybe it is being harrassed?

I would make sure of the Disease before just adding Meds.
