Do the red spots look like pin pricks, it sounds bacterial to me, plus is the fish in the same tank with the fish tb.

Sorry thought you was tammy liz so the tb comment sorry.

Red spots on skin can be caused by:
Regarding the small red dot, small pinprick like haemorrhages (called petechiae) can be due to a local lesion, a generalised septicaemia or toxaemia caused by acute viral and bacterial infections

I would do an immediate water change, and look at your stock as some of the fish shouldn't be in that size tank.
The silver shark which is a bala shark need to be kept in groups to be happy, plus they need 120gals.
The plec you are keeping is a big waste producer, i would do a gravel vac and water change, and take a sample of your water to the lfs and tell them to write thr readings down for you.
The whole tank is at risk.

Apologies, the tank is 120gallon not 120 litre..

The red lesions are larger than pinpricks, they are size of a small coin.

If you can issolate you will need an antibiotic, but the fish is in a bad way, once septicemia progresses hard to cure sorry.
