Is this itch?

[harlequinfanaticyert]

Can someone help me identify if this is early itch and if so, how to treat it

Any other symptoms? It doesn’t really look like it but the pictures aren’t the best.

It's very hard to tell with the blue light, can you take a few more with white light on?

I know, they’re essentially two small white bumps or dots. There was only one this morning, and none a few days ago

Are they breathing heavy or scratching or anything? It doesn’t really look like ich imo.

Please let me know. I can try again

This is a fin ray issue as a result of injury or more likely sting or puncture. Maintain water quality and keep an eye on it for improvement. If it gets larger, treat in separate tank with Seachem Neoplex and this is likely non-contageous

If there’s more dots tomorrow it’s prob ich. I wouldn’t worry unless you see that

The spot on the dorsal fin is too large to be ich, and can be seen by both sides, so that isn’t ich. The smaller spot on the tail could be ich, but I’d just watch it for now - ich spots will come and go every few days and generally increase in numbers. If these two spots are in the same location after three days, it isn’t ich.

Thank you! I’ll keep a close eye on it. Today they have seemed to subside a little.

It seems a third white dot appeared, here are some additional photos if anyone has an idea.

Sorry, I can’t see the third spot …. The other two still don’t look like ich.

Thank you! I’ll assume lymph or another thing at the moment

Definitely keep an eye on the spots, sometimes ich can be festering on a fish, and doesn't show up in pictures.
