I've lost 3 to this. Minor redness them 36 hours later it's open wounds and death.

Looks like septicemia - possibly Vibrio or Pseudomonas. Could also be Uronema. Did this happen in QT or the display tank?
 
Looks to be skin hemorrhage. Caused by slime coat being disrupted and poor water conditions. Vibrio and Pseudomonas are commonly associated with this. Treat with antibiotics... Kanamycin at 50-100mg/L for 7-10 days Nifurpirinol at 1-2mg/L same duration or Neomycin at 65mg/L same duration
 
They were newly imported fish. I'll try the kanamycin. I was just surprised how fast it developed.
