What's up lads hope you all staying safe and healthy. Had a small query regarding my Silver Arowana she's over a feet now round 14 inches or so and I noticed these spots on one side of its scales not so much on the other. Does not look like ich to me I'll drop a couple pics down for better understanding anyone know if this is something to worry bout or these are bruises? She lives with a peacock bass just the two so sometimes playful banter here and there.

Could be the beginnings of fungus. Does it have a cotton appearance to it? Would add salt, 1 tsp per g, and up ur water changes. Update after some time.

Yes has a white ball like cotton appearance. Now when you said it looks like it. Will treat the bass and the aro together by adding salt and upping the temp to 30°c.

Would you recommend api's Pimafix or Melafix for the treatment?

None of those. Have no effect. I’d try hydrogen peroxide on a qtip and apply to the area. Don’t go near the gills with it.
