Motoro stingray tiny white spot need help

[Kmcgregor458]

I just noticed when i woke up today my motoro stingray has a couple tiny white spots on the top of his head. I have him about 3 months and recently put him in a bigger 75gal tank. Im not sure what it is or how to treat it. I've done a lot of research and i know they don't do good with medication can someone please help!!!

Couple questions:
tankmates? what kind of substrate is that?
what kind of Filtration? temps? Test results if you have them?

Is it still Active? feeding ok? try not to panic until their behavior changes

Doesn't look like anything serious at this point. I have to ask the obvious question. Do you have a larger tank ready? That ray can get enormous, 24"+ disc and when properly fed and housed they grow fast.

Im ready to get a bigger tank when he gets bigger i have him with an arrowana and an Asian needle nose as well as some snails. The substrate is just black sand idk what it's called but it was more expensive than just the regular sand. I have two air filters i copied the same set up they had at the fish place. He is still very active and eating. Water temp is 79 idk the nitrate or ammonia i do 60% water change at least once a week. I went to the fish place and they told me he could have just scratched himself on the driftwood and not to worry

This is the tank

Should be adequate for the time being. What's the filtration? I think the small skin issues will clear up, just want to make sure it's not ammonia burn. sometimes that starts as small white bump/bubbles

If it's just the two sponge filters you need to beef that up ASAP

That needle nose gar will be a good snack for the silver arowana soon

Thanks i just upgraded to a fluval 205 canister got it for $60. I had just copied the same tank that where in at the store but when i upgraded to the 75 gal it must not have been enough. Thank you very much for your help. Ill move him to a different tank before he gets eaten i just wanted something else cool that wouldn't eat all the stingrays food.
