Single white dot on fin

[oldschoolgoods]

Does this lil white dot on the bottom of his tail fin look concerning? I recently got him and didn’t notice in the store. I am not able to quarantine due to us having a small apartment atm. I have ocd and am just worried. From what I’ve read one single white dot like this is likely from an injury or nothing to worry about I am just looking for others opinions.

I don’t see anything alarming, but can you circle the spot you are seeing?

If its the spot I think I see, looks to be a sand grain and of little concern. Ich will multiply each 24 ours.

Yes, I can see that. Could be an ich spot, but as mentioned, could just be a sand grain.

With ich, the spots will come and go every day or so - changing location and generally increasing in numbers until the fish becomes sick.
