Tried this in diseases but I didn't get enough hits so I'm going to try here and hope for better results.
I've had this 3.5'' FireMouth for a few months. About three weeks ago I noticed small greyish-white spots on his caudal fin. I raised the temp to 82 degrees and increased water changes to two 40% WC's per week. This past weekend I've noticed spots now appearing on his dorsal and the number of spots on his tail have increased in size and numbers. It doesn't look like Ich to me but I'm no expert by any means. Like I stated before the spots are only on the tail and dorsal and are not as "bright" as Ich spots that I've seen...(meaning Ich looking like little grains of salt). These look like little greyish-white blemmishes. I thought that its some kind of fin rot, but my parimeters are all good and I was told on another forum fin rot doesn't appear in spots.
Tank has been set up for a year. Fish Takes food like a champ and I haven't witnessed him being bullied by his tankmates (4''GT, 6''L203 pleco)
Pictures aren't the best. I need a better camera and these are the best of probably 30 pics I took today.
I also forgot to add that the other fish in the tank have shown no sign of the same symptoms
