Can you post a better picture and/or a description of what the symptoms are? I can't see anything in the picture...

foxfaces lose thier colour and go blochy when scared,stressed or sleeping makes them look real bad untill you get used to it but by the picture its hard to say if its more than that or not,took mine quite a while to relax and hes still a stress case.

He goes almost completely brown/grey when scared, but he has been a nice yellow for about 1 week now, but these spots seem different, he is yellow, but the grey spots remain. I will try to see if any of them fade in or out.

Looks like it could be black spot. it is not as deadly as the white spot "ich". best treatment would be a hospital tank with copper (cupramine). or you could try a 5 minute fresh water dip ( always is risky)
