Hey all! New to the hobby and have a foxface that joined my clown pair and 6-Line after cycling. Tank has been up about a month now. The foxface has started to develop some white spots on its fins and lower spikes. Any ideas?

How’s her appetite? Typically these should be little pigs if they’re happy and healthy. If she is eating I’d spike her Nori with Selcon and I’d add in something like Brightwell’s AminOmega that has a lot of fatty acids and aminos to boost up immune system and weight.

Although, that being said, if your water quality is not good then that needs to be addressed with some water changes. —- high nitrates, any amount of ammonia, etc. Also, temperature swings can cause stress so ensure the water temp is consistent within a small window of high and low.
