Poorly Bristle Nose Catfish

[Betts]

please help! I've just lost two well established bristle nose catfish to what appears to be some kind of disease. I've completed a partial water change and treated with an anti internal bacteria solution. I've tested the water and everything appears normal. now I've discovered another bristle nose showing the symptom. what can I do to prevent what seems to be certain death!

Can you get a photo of the fish? Is it this whitespot?
If it is treat it with Waterlife Protozin.

No I'm certain its not white spot as the spots are fairly large. my local aquatic centre say they are puzzled as its not a decease they reconise.

A pic might help.

Any redness to the spots.
Do the spots look a greyish colour or a greyish white.

Any signs of flicking and rubbing, darting, erratic swimming, excess mucas, laboured breathing or gasping.
