So i've had my CK for about a year now and he's always been active swimming around the tank with no issues that I can remember at all.

The other day I was looking at him close up and I found these 3 "blister-like" spots on his right side of his body, and I know there not suppose to be there.

However, these spots don't seem to affect the way he eats or acts towards anything, does anyone have any idea of what it could be?
 
pics would def help. If you can pull him out and look at him closely w/ a magnifier glass it might answer your question. It sounds like he has parasites but that is no diagnosis at all. Get some clear pics up and I'm sure you will have an answer soon enough.
 
i cant believe I forgot to upload the pics lol.

Take two:

What are the water parameters like? They kind of look like burns:confused: Have you noticed if it hangs out around the heater?
 
can't tell what those are but based on my experience cks are one of the hardiest fish i've ever owned.
 
No, I've never seen him near the heater.. And all the water parameters are normal and neutral.

As of today it seems as if its healing up and fading which is good..
