    I added a foxface 3 days ago, he had only 3 or 4 of this egg like thingies. It is almost like ich spots ( same color and size ) but it's not, it is like little white eggs on him making his body not smooth and it's spreading, he has like 15 to 20 of these things on him now. He has been eating well since i got him and no other weird behaviours, what are those things?! :confused:

    it's very hard to take a clear picture of him as he's always moving and those spots aren't big , damn i'm worried :(

    Are you positive it's not ich? Foxfaces get it pretty easy.

    Kind of looks like ich to me. You may want to consider a short freshwater dip.

    If the fish is acting normal and eatin normal, then dont do anything and see what happens, No need to stress it out along with everything else in the tang to remove it. Give it time and see how its acting.
