Oh man, you have to act fast with this one. CBBs have a tendency to develop "red sores" on their sides. And that may be what is beginning here. Once the "red sores" develop things go badly real fast.
To avoid the situation, I keep NFG powder on hand and start dosing asap.

Thank you! I’ll see if I can track some down tomorrow.

The red sores look like uronema, but they are some sort of bacterial infection. NFG is a faster working antibiotic. If necessary, you can also treat with the "trifecta" of Kanaplex + Metro + Furan2, which are much easier to source.
Thank you. Looks like the trifecta I can get today. Fingers crossed!

Pulling for you. CBBs can be a real challenge. Consider adding Beta Glucan to the food. It tremendously boosts the fish's immune system. And with the bacterial infections that seem problematic, every weapon we can use is a good thing. Here's more info:

Wouldn’t it be great if there were one thing that we could give any sick fish that could help it? Aquarists dream of a “magic bullet” that could be used as a treatment for a plethora of problems.
