Help! Spots on my fox face

[aquakj]

Hey guys so I saw these spots on my fox face I’ve actually read quite a few threads on this ppl seem to have similar issues with the fox face but they never came to a conclusion or any help and the threads were really old. Anybody know what these are or what it is...I did deal with ich a little while go but it’s been weeks since the fox face has shown signs idk take a look and let me know your guys’s input

The fish looks pretty thin. Is it getting enough nori or other algae? Can't say with certainty what those sores are, could be malnutrition or secondary bacterial infection. Doesn't suggest active ich/crypto to me.

It was in QT before hand for a month I was feeding algae sheets not nori though and I believe spectrum pellets as well as mysis shrimp

Almost looks bacterial in nature to me. Not sure what your quarantine process entails. Was it just observation or did you prophylactically treat? Looks quite thin also. Was the fish dewormed? What does it’s feces look like?

My Qt was for the first half was ich X and daily water changes then towards the end I did the TTM duration was about 30 days the fox face ate everyday never seemed sick or anything very active...this is why I decided he was ready to go to the display...poop was pretty much looking algae like brown/green...was not dewormed

Agree on bacterial issue.
Before treatment- focus on water quality.
What is your:
ammonia
nitrate
ph
salinity
water temp
Age of Tank
Type of water used- RODI or Tap from faucet?
Type of test kits you are using?

Ethromyacin or maracyn 2 will be best treatment in QT tank.

I have to test my water I tested last week
From what I remember my nitrate was at 8ppm
Ph:8
Salinity:1.025
Water temp:75 F
Rodi I’m using the aquatic life ro buddy I test the water before mixing the salt it reads 0
Ammonia I haven’t tested for yet
Age of tank it’s 2 months old

Feed sparingly for now to maintain water quality. Bump temo to aleast 77-78 deg. Ammonia testing is a must as it will contribute to bacteria, low oxygen and increase in your case nitrates.
If you dont have a kit, have a trusted LFS test it for you as long as they dont use API test kit which are very unreliable.
What test kits are you using ?

Tank is still maturing, so be sure to monitor regularly at least another month

Yea I will keep that in mind and I will test ammonia I will have to go get one of those quick test just to get an idea...I’m using Hanna testers right now
