Need help with bumps on gar fin?

I have no idea.
My gar doesn't have anything like that or any defects that I can see.( pic you posted is hard to see the spots)

My suggestion would be the good 'ole "salt the tank" it won't hurt the gar or bichir I'm not sure about the cat but I wouldn't think so since it's a catfish.
I'm salting 15 tablespoons to a 55 grow out right now.
Gar, bichir, 2 whiptail cats. the rest are feeders. all are fine.

Could be anything since these are almost all WC fish.

salt and it's uses.

Good instructions, just replace salt as you do water changes.

Salt seems to be a good idea even if you don't have any problems.

I don't have any issues and I'm salting. a box of canning salt is like 3 bux for 2 lbs good/cheap insurance against losing a fish.

Also my 15 to 50 is a one time dose. I moved the bichir in with him and wanted to prevent/protect against any cross contamination.

How's the Gar? Salt help any?

Still got spots?

Sometimes when there is trauma to the fins they get small bumps on them. Are any of the fish attacking the gar? Maybe the rtc is when lights go out. I can't really see anything from pics though.
