What is this

:confused: I put all my fish in the (H) tank to do hypo for ICH and this has come up on this fish. He has had it before but not as bad and it went away. He first got it the first time I did hypo on him so I think that low salt brings it out. The bad thing is that my other fish show signs of it. Some of them have stopped eating but not all of them. Most of them are very active, him included. I have had all these fish for over 3 years, good health. Why is it and what is it?

PS.. He is losing scales alover his body, mostly right there. they are raised all around that spot. there seems to be raw meat showing.

How quickly did you reduce the salinity and what are you using to measure salinity?
Are you testing for pH during this process and maintaining adequate pH?
Are you sure your problem is ich?

i dropped the salinity over 3 days and am using a refractometer. I know that they had ICH thats why I put them in here. the PH is 7.4 so I am raising it. but I don't think that is the only thing wrong.
