I have a 4" green terror and he has white dots (not ick) on his dorsal fin. Just wondering if anybody has an idea what they are.

Dots on my green terror

Is he still active? He doesn't look healthy. Might be parasites.

He is active and he eats well. And I have noticed his belly sunk in. I just picked him up from the LFS a couple weeks ago and that is how he has always looked. What can I do to fix these two problems?

Treat for internal parasites. Jungle parasite clear or seachem metro, polyguard, or paraguard seem to work pretty well. You can also get medicated food. Just go look at your LFS, and read the lables to see what covers the largest range of IP's. Lots of companies make good IP meds. I am partial to seachem chemicals as I think they make good products.
Don't forget to follow all of the directions. You'll likely have to take out any carbon you may have in yoru filter and do lots of water changes along with the meds.
If that doesn't work, it may be internal bacteria, or something else. But from my experience, a lot of GT's are prone to IP's, so I figure it'll be your best bet to treat for IP's anyway since he's got sunken gut.
Does he have white or clear feces? That's a sure sign that there's some parasite issues going on.

Yes. I have noticed he has white or clear feces. I will pick up some medicine on the way home from work. Thank you!

Yeah man, IP's for sure. There may be other issues, but IP's for sure.
If you can, I'd go with seachem metro and focus for IP's. Seems to work pretty darn well.
Whatever you go with, make sure it's for INTERNAL parasites. Some stuff will say it's for parasites, and it won't treat for internal parasites (only external). Make sure you read the label.
