Fin rot? Ich?

[Rp8]

So this hencho started with a spot on its pectoral fin. Its hard to see in the pic, but now there is a hole where the spot was. And other damaged find also. It swims well and eats wells. But now more spots are popping up in him. Had him for a month now. Breathing is slightly elevated, but he is the most active fish in the tank.Prognosis, dr? Any ideas or suggestions?

Try photographing him under white light. Very difficult to tell much under blue lights.

I do see white spots or spots of skin missing. Can’t tell if it’s Ich in the pics but I don’t see any signs of fin rot that’s good.

Upon further lookin, looks like its ich. Thanks for reaching out.

As mentioned, a clear photo taken under white light would help. From what I can see, the fish looks a bit "tattered". That combined with the timeline and what species it is makes me lean towards Neobenedenia skin flukes. The eyes look a bit glazed/cloudy as well. If so,. then I'd say that's what it is.
