An update. Planet Catfish, no one seemed interested in responding, I got one response of 'Velvet?"
I went with Heat, salt and API General Cure. 2 tanks got salt only, 2 tanks got API only, and 1 tank got some salt and API. I have a room heater for when it gets cool and it's not a very good one. I kept trying to get the room to 84-86 but with the heater the tanks were registering 96. Of course this is our hottest time this summer. But all the fish did fine. I have seen no fish losses in any tanks. One tank I saw a spot on a fish on Day 2 of the treatment the rest I didn't find any spots. Day 3 and on I could find no spots on any fish. I treated for 5 days - today I did partial water changes and again I find nothing on the fish.
So I guess I'll keep checking these tanks closely for the next couple of weeks and see what happens.

Thums up!!! Could be a far stage of Velvet. This parasite will damage the slimecoat and skin so other infections (bacterial / fungal) can take their chance. Sorry there are hardly any reactions on PC !!
Good luck and keep us informed. Regards Aad
