Hi, a few days ago i noticed 2 red spots on the tip of the head of this walking catfish. 2 days after there were 3 and they got twice bigger. they are located right on the base of one of his antlers. he is in a 600 liter tank alone with 2 external filter . Beside those spots he is ok , active and eating. Does someone has an idea what are those? are there any disease demonstarting similiar simptoms? The pics i have are horrible, later ill try again with a better camera. thank you

Please list your water parameters .
What is your routine for water changes?
What are the tankmates?
 
Post some pics.

I have answered on the other thread but to summaris, salt, water changes, clean substrate and check all water parameters (expecting poor water quality)

Looks like from rubbing on something or coming into contact with something as the one whisker is bent. Can’t tell if there’s a growth there.

Keep it clean and try removing decor and watch for now is my suggestion.
