No place to quarantine him so I upped the temp and added salt and does anyone know what little brown spots mean he only has about 5 ATM and he kinda looks like a satanoperca after researching it

The brown spots may just be his coloration?

Looks like Satanoperca jurupari judging by the barring between the eyes.
As far as the spotting goes I don't see anything in the pic that would immediately concern me. Some wild fish are imported with a parasite attached to them but it eventually falls off because it cannot complete its life cycle without being consumed by a bird. I would keep an eye on him either way and see if he does not feed or begins to deteriorate.

He is already picking thru the sand so I take that as a good sign and already swimming at the top and all that will keep an eye on him tho

From the picks it's most likely satanoperca leucasticta or satanoperca jurapari. I am leaning more too leucasticta. They do need to be in groups and grow quite large so need room as well. They are actually my favorite fish so good pickup. I have 8 in a 180 and they are amazing.

I have no idea where to get more of these would a picture of his face help ID him?

If it's leucasticta can I mix and match with jurupari?
