Hi All,

Its my first post here, but I have been following the forum with all the great resources here for a long time already. 2 months ago set up my 400L aquarium with a singe 10 inch Silver Arowana that I purchased in one of the shops in Dubai. It has always been a bit shy, and sitting sometimes in the corner, but its eating very well / mostly pallets. Water properties are fine too.

I noticed today that 2 white pimples / spots are developing on the right side of his body. There is no evidence of itch. I could not get a better picture that the one below; what could it be? Initially I thought white spots, but that has normally itch. Could it be a parasite?

Your inputs are very much appreciated!!!
 
Hi welcome to MFK. The pictures are not really clear enough for me to tell what that is. It's possibile it could be the start of anchor worm but that's only a guess right now. Keep an eye on it and if it develops further let us know.
 
Thanks Aquanero, I really appreciate your reply! I will keep an eye on it. If anything further develops I will let you know.
