If you don't see the spots then it might not have. If its a new tank and hasn't been cycled then the water is probably irritating him. I see you didn't go the oscar route.

Went to lps and they were out of tiger o's, so i got the p's instead, i dunno if they have it but im acting as if they do just seen them do things like my lmb did before when he had ich, tank is cycled, so i am on day two 86 F water with 75 tsp of salt in there, did half of what is recommended.

A littl esalt treatment won't hurt. But some fish flash, rub up against some thing, if they irritated or are trying to stimulate slim coat.

well i dunno any way to test for this parasite, all of my fish do it once in a while not excessively, but sometimes, so im doing the 14 day salt treatment and heat, but i am NOT noticing any white spots at all and there eating and swimming normal except for the occasional body brush up. im also like noticing them... yawning almost?
 
+1 for the salt...cant hurt either way. Little salt is always good. Other than that clean water, and a good diet. Best way to fix almost anything thats wrong with any fish.
 
well im doing the 14 day treatment then after that every water change adding 10tsp salt every wc, hear its healthy, im jsut worryed cuz the first day i got them i fed them 12 guppies from the lps with out quarentine... but there acting normal besides the brushin up on things lightly.. so i dunno i wish i could just get a solid answer.
 
When that happend to my fh I put salt and bump the temp but when I notice the slow improvment I decided to use Meds after a while I notice it improving plus i use my uv light.
