My fish was from AI, however I had the fish for approx two years before he got sick. Mine started the same. It almost looked like his scales were falling off when it got wrose. Where the skin fell off it was black underneth. When he died his whole body was black.
I tried garlic however it was the liquid. My fox face ate everything but he would not get better.
I did however move my tank about a month before he got sick. My tank is 175gal and I had to fix some of the plumbing. So it took quite a while. I believe it stressed him out pretty good.
I really wish I could be more help. But like I said none of my other fish got it or died after he did. I have never had a problem with my tank since.
GOOD LUCK
