He has a pimple-like thing on the side of his eye which is white and he didn't have before. I noticed it around 6:40pm today before I left to my friend's house, & since I couldn't stay home, I got some aquarium water, put it in a 5gal. bucket w/ & put him in it. Can you help me out because he's my favorite and most entertaining fish to watch... I took him out because I heard ich is contagious and didn't want my other fish to get it, too. All help is MUCH appreciated.

edit- I went on a website w/ fish disease pictures, and it looks like lymphocystis (a.k.a cauliflower disease). His symptoms are: not eating much, spends most time at bottom not moving (only at night), and some days I wake up to see him discolored. Please tell me if it is indeed lymphocystis and how to cure it please.

I thought he died & started crying a flood. My kissing gourami saw him and swam down there. He pushed my firemouth up & was helping him around! how sweet! I have a guardian angel in the tank... 
well, he was losing scales because my mom told me the bucket i had put him in, she used for moping & had soap inside. I added Stress Coat so his scales would grow back... Should I also add salt? If so, how much?
