Disease or something else!??

I would treat for at least 3 weeks. This way, if there are more parasites within the fish, they will develop and depart. Table salt will work just fine, as will kosher salt.
 
I've never heard of dishwasher salt--sorry. Would you be comfortable putting it on your own food? If so, then it should be okay.
 
I did it. The poor fish seem shocked now and has sunken to the bottom. I guess it's pretty stresfull situation going from the fresh to saltwater? Is it safe for her to be in the saltwater for 3 weeks, because I read somewhere that only "Salt baths" are used?

However, I noticed that one spot today turned reddish. That's probably blood? Others seem white.
Is there anything I could do more than just adding salt?
And does anyone have any idea what illness this fish has?

Now when she is in the hospital tank, she doesn't want to eat.

Thanks all, I REALLY want to save this poor fish. I almost cried. :(

Nothing much happened, except that she stopped eating the day I put her in the hospital tank.. I don't know is it because of the disease or saltwater?

When I look closer to those spots they look more like ulcers to me. On the left side they are on the body, but on the right side, they are pretty extended from the body.

Any thoughts? I still don't know what does this fish has. Her moves are ok, except that she frightens every time I come close to the tank.
