Fish gas damage and possibly infection at upper dorsal which is either injury or from aggression m/fighting
The side of m
Body shows the same
Suggested is treatment in a separate quarantine setting with seachem kanaplex while maintaining good water quality

It could just be damage from fighting, or the broken skin from that may have allowed an infection to set in - either bacterial of the lymphocystis virus.
