Answer 1

With that additional information concerning the treatment and appearance of the lesions, I would include columnaris as a distinct possiblility. Columnaris can occur anywhere on the fishes body and there have been documented lab cases of it being a systemic, or body wide infection. Columnaris presents as quite round lesions, white in the center and red around the edges. The key word for identification is round. The center can also be somewhat yellowish or pinkish. It's not real easy to treat as it only responds well to a very limited number of antibiotics. The best treatment for columnaris is Furanace (generic name Nifurpirinol). It is the only known antibiotic that will treat both the surface and internal parts of the infection and the only one that will treat it if it becomes systemic. Other treatments are usually very harsh and include copper sulfate, potassium permanganate and Oxolinix acid. Treat with Furanace for 2-3 weeks to be sure you are rid of the disease.

Answer 2

black in many circumstances shows burn style marks, what are the ammonia readings on your tank? that's what i might verify first, something greater desirable than 0 could be the wrongdoer. what length tank are they in? blood parrots want somewhat super tanks as they advance deceptively super (approximately 8" or so). does it appear as if its below the scales, the scales themselves or some thing else? no different indications including lethargy, dropping weight, bloatedness? the clarification i ask is now and back black marks, particularly in cichlids (a blood parrot is a cichlid) can point out fish tuberculosis, that's a foul affliction, now and back even symptomless, and is often deadly. verify out the link below.

Answer 3

you could just edit your last post instead of just posting another question. But in answer to your question i could be some kind of fungal or bacterial in fection or if your fish is in your community tank, it might have been bullied around by other fish. You could try researching your fish symptoms on the net and hopefully trying to find some sort of diagnosis. Or you could go to your vet and see what's wrong. He or she might be able to help.
