I got this guy 2 weeks ago and put him into a 10gal quarantine tank for the 2 weeks and I saw nothing on him. I put him in my 75 and now he has 3 dots on him. 2 on his left and 1 on his right fin. I medicated him with general cure and mixed general cure with focus and fed him medicated food for 2 weeks.8ED00607-CEFB-4C75-808F-C3AFF2E6E43A.jpeg4ABA4085-8C52-476E-A213-8F37A6184C1E.jpegEDBE0A17-12F8-470C-942F-376ED38B4714.jpeg

I think those bumps are from broken rays. Two of my parrots had those and they eventually healed. One of my parrots currently has a spot like that on her tail for almost three years. I'd stop medicating and just monitor for now.

Ick looks like your fish was rolled in salt all over.

I agree it looks like damage to the fins. Ich has very distinct spots and would be much smaller.
