I cant see a parasite, but i can see what looks to be a fungal infection.
Using salt you should have noticed a stop in its production or at least a slow down in its production.
Have you tried any form of anti-fungal remedy?

Its hard from just photos to diagnose.
if I dont know exactly what I am treating I use the two fixes (melafix and Pimafix by API)
togther, they are good for general things but not as strong as a specific medicine.
have you tried them?

Just to add, fungus is usually a secondary ailment, whilst fungus may be visible, it is possible that there is something underlying going on which could be bacterial as Lorne says.

Let us know how you get on with any meds.

i have started treating this guy with med for bacterial & fungus. there seems to have improvement. However, the recovery seems rather slow. Will update again.
