Default black spots on golden peacock

i bought 10 golden peacocks from thailand. a week or 2 later i noticed one of the fish had about 6 tiny black spots and a larger oblong spot. the spots were on the head and body. i added 5 tablespoons salt (55gallon tank) and raised the water tempature to 83 degrees, a week later things looked the same so i cleaned the tank and lowered the tempature to 80 degrees. a couple weeks later i noticed most of the fish were glancing or rubbing in the bottom of the tank. all water parameters looked good. i decided to use parasite clear from jungle, used it twice, no apparent changes. a couple weeks later 2 more fish have black spots ,one fish has a spot on the side. the other has a lite black smear on the tailfin. i am using 3 table spoons of salt now. water test results= kh-12 ph-8.2 ammonia=0 nitrite=0 . the person who sold the fish to me said (this could be alligator virus ,dont worry it will go away) can anyone help?? new member bill, thanks
