The discoloration is grey, not bumpy, not fuzzy, not sunken in, just discoloration. It has been a few days now since I notices the spots. Looks to be stable now, as in not expanding. Yes there are some on the fins, harder to see though.

The spots are constant, they are not coming and going like the normal color changing the foxface does.

I can't tell from the pictures but if it is a bacterial or fungal infection, garlic will help.
What you need to do is buy some Kayolic garlic extract. (not juice as juice is diluted with water or oil as it is messy. You find it at a health food stores but you have to look around.
Put some flake in a jar lid and soak the flake with garlic extract and swish it in the tank. Feed as much as you can and as often as you can as the idea is to get as much garlic in the fish as possilble. Frozen food does not absorb the garlic well.
Good luck

Just wondering where you purchased the fish. due to it being a recent purchase, could it be possible the fish was caught with cyanide?

Good thinking. Where did you purchase? Has the spots spread anymore? Have you done a water change since? It wouldn't hurt.


Hey neptune9824, since your foxface had the same thing....where did you purchase your foxfish? We can see if there is a connection.
