Default Red bumps on tail

Hi I have seen a few red bumps on the tail. There is no tail, so don’t think it’s hookworm.

I did a water change a few days ago, about 20%. Added some salt and acriflavin. Bumps seems smaller but still there. This has been about 7-10 days.

PH about 6.5-7, NO2 is 0, NO3 is 80, carbonate hardness is 0, general hardness is 60.

Below is the YouTube link, any advice is greatly appreciated.

pimples on tail usually indicate poor water quality.
NO3 on the high side.

do more regular WC.
or reduce bioload.

You should go easy on the medication ie. not required. As mentioned it's an indication of poor water quality. More frequent WC will solve the problem
