I have 6 young discus in a 4 ft bare bottom tank with plastic plants.. water change is 50 - 70% daily..
This developed a few weeks after treating for gill flukes... some fish started to develop these red marking.. on both sides...
Have done malachite and salt bath daily for about a week... other than that I have used Copper Safe and Ocean Free Herbal treatment for external parasite in tank treatment.
These discus seemed normal otherwise... eating... fighting for food.. no fin clamping.. active just these red markings...
What might this be... How can I treat this... Oh temperature is 30-31 d C.
I have 2 pictures here...
