I am 57 days in qt for ich. As my fish no longer have ich I noticed today my cardnialfish has a fat lip and some other whitish spots on it's fins and side of body. Any ideas?

Your most recent pics looks like Lymphocystis to me.
Lymphocystis:
Symptoms - Lymphocystis appears as a white or beige colored cauliflower-like growth that usually starts on the fins and spines and sometimes spreads to the body. Initially it may be small (looks like ich), and then grows in size (which is how you know it’s not ich). Lympho is a virus that many fish carry for life. Fortunately, it is rarely fatal or even harmful to the fish, and symptoms will come and go.
Treatment options - No known cure or treatment exists. However, feeding vitamin-enriched foods and maintaining pristine water conditions may expedite the “going away” process.

Okay that could make sense as you also thought my black cap had that at one point. It went away on the black cap and never showed it's self again. So this might be the same. I'll treat with selco again.
