thats how the parasite works , being visible is only one stage of what the parasite does.

fwiw if its just a few spots then im with the group and keep him healthy and eating for now unless it becomes severe.

there does come a time though when a fish is gone to far , regardless of the foods or the amounts they wont come back (food is not a cure, the hobby as whole kiows this for a fact) , this i can guarantee . you'll know when this happens and fish usually don't last but a few days at most in this condition.
