My powder brown has white spots all over him. Could you help me figure out what it is/ how to fix it? Thanks in advance. The pics aren’t that great but he is eating/ swimming/ acting normal.

How long have you had him for?

When fish hide, most experience color changes as camouflage. Based off the photos, that’s what it looks like

Ok... so this guy has been in your tank 37 days?

And the rest of the fish in the tank, you added them when? Did you quarantine them?

No problem. Do you have a separate tank for quarantine? How many fish do you have? Do you have access to copper to treat the fish if they confirm that he's sick?

I had a tank and like a dummy I figured I wouldn’t need it so I gave it to the kids across the street when I got done with it. But I can buy another one for sure. You think a 10 gallon is enough?

I did a search on R2R for the Polyp Lab Medic and it seems that it's fine for you to try it. I'm sorry that tagging you some help did not work. Maybe someone will check in with you tomorrow since it's getting late.
