Hmm doesn't really look sinister to me.. im fairly certain theyre sensory pits.

 

[sun catfish]

ok good cause he has been a part of family since he was a little yellow dot on a rock 2 years

sensory pits should not be visible. what are your water params, probably beginning of hith. it starts in the sensory pits.

oh so that isnt a good thing i havnt checked in a long time so it is..........7.5 ph that is the only test kit i have ph tester. oh ya a few days ago he had some bad ick i should have said that first

ick is also a sign of bad water quality. do a 50% water change right now.

buy a 5 in 1 test kit tomorrow and test your nitrite and nitrate levels. nitrite needs to be 0 and nitrates under 20ppm

if you act fast your fish will return to good health no problem, if you slack at all your fish will suffer and eventually die.
