Hi everyone, I’m worried about my little guy. He’s gotten a part of his tail that’s turned white and the part of his face turned white. I’ve been giving them anti-ick stuff but it’s not helping him get better. But he’s not getting worse? Any advice? He’s the one in the back. I know hard to see.
Fin Rot?

A lot of the time fin rot is from poor water quality (could be too small of a tank, ammonia spike, etc.) or from another tank mate that is attacking them during the night or when no one is looking.
It’s hard to see the white aspects you mention, but if it’s turning white before disappearing, I’d just do a massive water change, and keep on doing water changes for two weeks daily (like >50% water changes). I’d also add in some Maracyn medicine (most fin rot medicines do not use that but use other less useful chemicals).

Thank you both!
Did your fish ever recover from the white spots?

I did used the tips suggested in the Fin Rot article to treat my brother's fishes that had the same issues and they did recovery perfectly.

Change your fish into an isolation tank and put it in a 7 day antifungal and antibiotic course. Fin rot is mainly due to fungal infection. Add aquilibrium salt to the tank and maintain proper ph levels and maintain water temperature at optimum levels. The fish would get better in a week.
